Lighting Design North London
LED downlights, kitchen lighting, shed & outbuilding electrics lighting, and full lighting design for North London homes. Energy-efficient upgrades that transform your home’s ambience and cut your electricity bills — installed by NICEIC registered electricians.
Why Choose Rudi Electrics for Lighting Design and Installation North London?
Your concerns answered — here’s why North London homeowners trust us to design and install their lighting.
“I just want to swap my old halogens for LEDs — do I really need an electrician for that?”
For a straight like-for-like swap, sometimes not. But most halogen circuits aren’t dimmer-compatible with LED, and many older fittings have heat damage or loose connections you’d never spot without opening them up. We check every fitting, replace any that need it, and make sure your new LEDs actually dim and perform the way they should.
“I want downlights in the kitchen ceiling — but I’m worried about the mess and disruption.”
Most kitchens take a single day with minimal disruption. We core-drill clean holes, run the cable through the void, and patch around any holes before we leave — finishing and decorating is down to you, as with any electrical work. If you have a solid concrete ceiling or a flat above, we’ll tell you honestly during the free site visit — no surprises on the day.
“Can you do the garden lighting too, or do I need a separate specialist for that?”
We handle everything — indoor and shed & outbuilding electrics in one visit. Garden lights, pathway lighting, security PIR floodlights, soffit lights, and exterior wall lights are all part of what we do. All outdoor work uses IP-rated fittings and correctly protected circuits. One electrician, one job, one fixed price.
“How do I know the price won’t change once you’ve started and found extra work?”
We do a free site visit before quoting anything. We look at your existing wiring, check the consumer unit, and assess exactly what’s involved — then give you a fixed price in writing before we book in. We don’t start work and then tell you it costs more. The price we quote is the price you pay.

We're based in N18 Edmonton and operate across all of North London — we carry out lighting installations across all these property types regularly. LED upgrades, kitchen downlighters, and outdoor lighting are our most common jobs in North London. We can also combine with a electrical fault finding visit on the same day.
Most North London lighting jobs take a single day. We always check the consumer unit before starting — some older properties need a circuit upgrade before LED dimming works correctly.

The new fuse box installation was done to a high standard, and the hallway lights are now working perfectly.

Professional, efficient and great communication. Highly recommended.
What really impressed me was that he managed to fit me into his already tight schedule and came out on a Sunday to do the installation. We had a break-in a couple of days ago, so I needed the security cameras urgently and he really helped by making it happen so quickly.
The installation was very neat and professional, he explained how everything works and made sure the cameras covered all the important areas around the house.

Our Lighting Installations
Real jobs completed across North London — downlights, LED strips, outdoor lighting & smart controls.
What Lighting Can We Install in Your Home?
From replacing tired halogen downlights to designing a full layered lighting scheme — here's what's possible with a professional lighting installation across North London.
LED Downlight Upgrades
Replace old halogen downlights with energy-efficient LED fittings that use up to 90% less electricity and last 25× longer. We handle the full swap — new fittings, fire-rated bezels where required, and correct beam angles for even coverage throughout the room.
Kitchen Lighting
Task lighting above worktops, under-cabinet LED strips for food prep, and ambient ceiling lighting — designed so every zone of your kitchen is properly lit. We add new circuits and switches where needed, keeping the installation clean and the cabling concealed.
Garden & Outdoor Lighting
Pathway lights, uplighting for trees and fences, security PIR floodlights, and patio mood lighting — all on a dedicated shed & outbuilding electrics circuit, fully weatherproofed to IP65 rating. We run armoured cable underground and install a separate outdoor consumer unit where required.
Bathroom & IP-Rated Lighting
Bathrooms require IP-rated fittings — the correct rating depends on how close the light is to the shower or bath. We specify and fit the right fittings for each zone, install extractor fan lighting combinations, and ensure full Part P compliance with certification on completion.
Dimmer Switches & Lighting Circuits
Install dimmer switches to any lighting circuit, add new lighting circuits for extensions or loft conversions, or split an overloaded circuit so individual rooms can be controlled independently. All wiring run neatly through voids where possible — minimal plastering required.
Accent & Feature Lighting
Picture lights, shelf lighting, cornice LED strips, architectural uplighting, and staircase lighting — installed to highlight the features of your home and create atmosphere in the right places. We design the layout, run the wiring, and leave you with a finished result that looks considered and deliberate.

Lighting Installation
From initial design consultation to final test and sign-off — every lighting installation is planned, installed, and certified to BS 7671 with minimal disruption to your home.

We discuss what you want to achieve — whether that's replacing halogen downlights, adding kitchen task lighting, or designing a full layered scheme. We advise on what's possible in your property before any commitment is made.
Design & Fixed Quote
We produce a lighting layout showing fitting positions, switch locations, and circuit routes. You receive a written fixed-price quote covering all labour, materials, and certification — no surprises on the day.
Fitting Sourcing
We supply fittings or install customer-supplied products. We only recommend what we'd fit in our own homes — specifying the correct IP rating, beam angle, colour temperature, and dimmer compatibility for each location.
Installation
Circuits isolated, fittings installed, and all wiring run neatly through ceiling voids and floor spaces where possible. New circuits added where required. We work cleanly — dust sheets down, holes cut precisely, and everything made good before we leave.
Testing & Sign-Off
Every circuit tested to BS 7671 — insulation resistance, continuity, and polarity checks on all new wiring. Dimmer compatibility verified, IP-rated fittings inspected, and all switches confirmed working correctly before we sign off.
Certification & Handover

Lighting Installation North London — Across All Property Types
From Victorian terraces in Palmers Green to new build apartments at Meridian Water — we've designed and installed lighting across every North London property type. Here's how we approach the unique challenges each property presents.
Victorian & Edwardian Properties
📍 Southgate, Palmers Green, Winchmore Hill, Wood Green, Enfield
High ceilings with original ceiling roses and pendant drops that owners want to keep. Older loop-in wiring with no earth on lighting circuits. Lath and plaster ceilings make downlight installation disruptive. Limited switch positions — adding new switching points means surface trunking or significant replastering.
Sympathetic lighting design that works with period features rather than against them. We retain ceiling roses and pendants where requested, add LED retrofit lamps, and introduce discreet recessed downlights only where ceiling construction allows. Earth continuity checked and remediated before any new circuits are added.
1930s–1970s Semi-Detached
📍 Bounds Green, New Southgate, Arnos Grove, Oakwood, Cockfosters
Dated batten-holder fittings still on original circuits. Kitchens and bathrooms often have inadequate task lighting added piecemeal over the years. No dimming provision on any circuit. Partial rewires mean a mix of old and new wiring that needs assessing before extending lighting circuits.
Room-by-room lighting upgrade — we replace outdated fittings, add dedicated kitchen and bathroom circuits with proper IP-rated fittings, and introduce dimmer switches where the wiring permits. New circuits run with minimal disruption, chased into existing plaster channels where possible.
Extensions & Loft Conversions
📍 North London, Enfield, Chingford, Wood Green, Palmers Green
Builder-fitted basic pendant light on a single unfused spur — no downlights, no zones, no dimming. Loft rooms with restricted ceiling depth making standard downlight cans difficult to fit. Kitchen extensions where worktop task lighting was never included in the original build.
Full lighting fit-out for new spaces — dedicated circuits, recessed LED downlights using slim-profile fire-rated fittings for tight ceiling voids, under-cabinet LED strips for kitchen worktops, and dimmer switches throughout. All new circuits certified to BS 7671 with Part P notification included.
New Builds & Landlord Properties
📍 Edmonton, Enfield, Southgate, Wood Green, Palmers Green, Wood Green, Enfield
Developer-specified fittings chosen for cost rather than quality or aesthetics. Landlords need durable, low-maintenance LED fittings that reduce replacement callouts. New build kitchens and bathrooms with basic lighting that tenants or owners want upgraded immediately after moving in.
Practical, long-life LED upgrades — we swap developer fittings for quality fire-rated downlights, add kitchen under-cabinet lighting, and upgrade bathrooms to IP65-rated fittings. For landlords we specify robust fittings with 30,000+ hour rated LEDs to minimise ongoing maintenance. All work NICEIC certified.
