Lighting Installations

We treat lighting installations as an engineering job rather than a quick fix. Our technicians assess the whole system before recommending anything, because the fault you can see is very often a symptom of something upstream that will simply come back if it is not addressed properly the first time.

Lighting changes how a space feels more than almost any other element. We install downlighters, pendants, track and rail systems, cove and cornice lighting, chandeliers, under-counter lighting and full lighting schemes designed around task, ambient and accent layers.

We also handle switching and control: two-way and intermediate switching, dimming that actually works with the fittings supplied, occupancy sensors and smart control integration.

Why lighting installations matters

Load shedding, surges and Gauteng’s summer storm season are hard on both air conditioning and electrical infrastructure. Correct lighting installations builds in the protection and headroom needed to survive that environment instead of failing on the first hot Saturday of the season.

What’s included

Downlighters, pendants, track and cove lighting
Layered task, ambient and accent design
Dimming compatible with the chosen fittings
Two-way, intermediate and sensor switching
Smart and app-based lighting control

Warning signs we look for on lighting installations

A burning smell near the board, a plug point or a light fitting
Extension leads permanently in use because there are too few points
Lights dimming or flickering when large appliances start
Earth leakage tripping and needing to be reset regularly
No valid Certificate of Compliance for the property
Warm, discoloured or buzzing switches, sockets or DB board

How we handle lighting installations

1. Free assessment and written quote

We attend site, inspect what is actually there, and quote lighting installations in writing with the parts, labour and any compliance work itemised. No deposit is required to get a price.

2. Scheduling that suits you

Once you approve the quote we book a slot — including after-hours and weekend work where a business cannot afford downtime — and confirm the arrival window by phone or WhatsApp the day before.

3. The work itself

A qualified technician carries out the lighting installations to SANS standards using correctly rated materials. Drop sheets go down, the area is protected, and anything unexpected is raised with you before extra cost is incurred.

4. Testing, handover and paperwork

We test the completed work under load, walk you through what was done, and issue your invoice, warranty details and — where the job requires it — a Certificate of Compliance.

What affects the price of lighting installations

Anyone quoting lighting installations sight-unseen is guessing. These are the factors that genuinely move the number on our quotations:

Cable length, routing and whether chasing into walls is required
Single-phase versus three-phase supply and the rating of the circuit
Condition of the existing DB board and whether an upgrade is needed
Quality and rating of the protective devices and fittings specified
Whether a Certificate of Compliance forms part of the scope
Access, working at height, and whether the site must stay live

Our guarantee

Every job carries a written workmanship guarantee on top of the manufacturer’s warranty on parts and equipment.

Recent project

A independent school in Benoni needed lighting installations handled properly after a poor previous experience. We assessed the site, quoted in writing, completed the work to SANS standards and handed over full documentation. Read the full Lighting Installations for a independent school in Benoni case study.

Lighting Installations FAQs

Can you install downlighters in an existing ceiling?

Yes. We core clean openings, route wiring in the ceiling void and make good, with minimal disruption.

How much does lighting installations cost in Gauteng?

There is no single price — lighting installations is quoted on scope. The assessment is free and the quotation is itemised, so you see the parts, the labour and any compliance work separately before you commit. Call 060 959 2231 and we will give you a realistic range over the phone, then confirm it on site.

How quickly can you attend?

We aim for same-day or next-day attendance across Gauteng for lighting installations, and we run emergency call-outs after hours, over weekends and on public holidays. Booked installations are usually scheduled within a few working days.

Are your technicians qualified and insured?

Yes. Our teams are qualified, insured and, on the electrical side, registered to issue Certificates of Compliance. If something we installed fails within the guarantee period we come back and make it right — no argument, no callout fee.

Do you cover my area?

We cover the whole of Gauteng — Johannesburg, Pretoria, Centurion, Midrand, the East Rand, the West Rand and the Vaal — including estates and complexes where access has to be arranged with the HOA in advance.
