Why choosing fittings is harder than it looks
When the light points are already fixed, the product you put in each one decides the result. These are the traps we steer you around.
-
The wrong size
Pendants and wall lights that look right online can overwhelm or disappear in the real room. We check scale against your dimensions.
-
Too bright or too dim
Output figures are easy to misread. We match lumens and beam to the room and the job each light does.
-
Dimming that flickers
Lamps, drivers and dimmers have to work together. We check compatibility before you order.
-
Cold or mismatched colour
Mixed colour temperatures make a home feel disjointed. We keep the tone consistent from room to room.
-
Unsuitable ratings
Bathrooms, kitchens and covered terraces need the right IP rating. We flag where it matters.
-
Discontinued or delayed products
When a favourite fitting is unavailable we find alternatives that keep the look and the performance.

We focus on the products for your existing light points and give you a clear list you can order from.

💡 Choose the fittings before you order
Once the positions are fixed, the remaining decisions are about products. Getting them checked before you buy avoids returns, delays and fittings that never quite work.
If the positions can still change, the full Interior Lighting Design Service gives you a better result for a little more.
When the selection service fits best
Use it when the layout is settled and you want expert help choosing what goes into each point.
-
Positions set by your installer
The electrician or architect has fixed the points and you need the products to match.
-
Furnishing a new home
Fittings for several rooms chosen together so they look and perform as a set.
-
Interior designers
Product support and technical checks without a full lighting layout.
-
Fixed ceilings and wiring
Projects where the cabling cannot move but the fittings can still change.
-
Replacing an unsuitable choice
A product is discontinued, out of stock, over budget or simply wrong for the space.
-
Bathrooms and kitchens
Rated fittings and task lighting chosen for the practical demands of each room.
-
Decorative statement pieces
Pendants and chandeliers sized and placed so they suit the room.
-
Holiday homes and rentals
Durable, easy-to-maintain fittings that still look good.
-
A list and a quote, not drawings
Clients who want clear recommendations and prices rather than CAD plans.
