Lighting faults can occur at multiple points in the circuit — at the light fitting itself, at the switch, at a junction box, or at the consumer unit. Our electricians systematically trace the fault to its source rather than just replacing parts, ensuring a lasting repair that addresses the actual problem.
We're experienced with all types of lighting systems including traditional pendant fittings, recessed downlights, LED strip lighting, smart lighting systems, emergency lighting, fluorescent fittings, and outdoor security lighting. Whatever type of lighting fault you have, we can diagnose and repair it.
Common Lighting Problems We Fix
Fast diagnosis and repair for all lighting issues
Flickering Lights
Flickering can indicate loose connections, faulty fittings, incompatible dimmer switches, or wiring problems. We trace the cause and provide a permanent fix.
Dead Light Fittings
Lights that won't turn on despite new bulbs usually have a wiring fault, failed fitting, or switch problem. We diagnose and repair the root cause.
Buzzing or Humming
Buzzing from light fittings often indicates incompatible dimmer switches, loose connections, or failing transformers in low-voltage systems.
Faulty Light Switches
Switches that spark, feel warm, or don't work reliably need replacing. We fit quality replacements and check the wiring behind every switch.
Dimmer Switch Issues
Dimmer switches can cause flickering with LED bulbs or fail entirely. We install compatible LED trailing-edge dimmers for smooth, buzz-free operation.
Commercial Lighting
We repair fluorescent fittings, emergency lighting, and commercial lighting systems for offices, shops, and warehouses across South Wales.

Frequently Asked Questions
Flickering lights can be caused by loose connections, a faulty light fitting, incompatible dimmer switch, voltage fluctuations, or a wiring fault on the lighting circuit. We test systematically to find the specific cause.

Yes, we're experienced with LED lighting issues including flickering, buzzing, and compatibility problems with dimmer switches. We can recommend and install compatible LED drivers and trailing-edge dimmers.
Buzzing usually means the dimmer switch isn't compatible with your LED bulbs. Older leading-edge dimmers don't work well with LEDs. We install trailing-edge LED dimmers that eliminate buzzing and flickering.
Yes, we repair all types of outdoor lighting including garden lights, security lights, PIR sensors, and driveway lighting. Outdoor lighting faults often involve moisture ingress which we address during repair.
A warm light switch indicates a loose connection or overloaded switch, both of which are fire risks. Stop using the switch and call us for an urgent repair. This should not be ignored.
Recessed downlights that blow frequently are often caused by overheating (insufficient ventilation above the fitting), incorrect bulb wattage, or a failing transformer in older halogen systems. We diagnose the cause and recommend the right solution.
Yes. We repair and maintain emergency lighting systems in commercial properties, offices, and public buildings across South Wales. Emergency lighting must be tested regularly and maintained to comply with BS 5266.
Dim lights can be caused by a failing dimmer switch, incorrect bulb type, voltage drop on a long circuit, or a loose neutral connection. We test the circuit and identify the cause.
