Lighting Distribution Plans for UK Homes
Lit to your room, not a fixed package
An electrician-ready plan showing exact fixture positions, circuits, switching and load calculations for your space, priced to the room rather than a fixed tier. Ceiling type has the biggest effect on the hours needed, a flat ceiling is more straightforward than a suspended, recessed or multi-level one. Tell us about your project and we'll confirm a quote based on the hours it needs.
Two ways to take it further
Aiming & Commissioning Visit
A site visit once your fittings are installed. We angle spotlights, test scenes and set dimmer curves in person, rather than leaving it to guesswork on the day.
Fitting Selection
Help choosing the actual pendants, spots, switches and dimmers for your plan, drawing on our network of lighting specialists and stockists. This is product selection, not a full lighting design service, creative concepts and daylight analysis sit outside this scope.
One fitting can't do a room's job alone
Professional lighting design works in three layers: task light for reading or cooking, ambient light that fills the room generally, and accent light that highlights art or architecture. A single central pendant tries to do all three at once and usually does none of them well. A distribution plan is what makes sure all three layers actually get wired in before the plaster goes up, not worked out afterwards with an extension lead.
Who this service suits
- Homeowners upgrading dated fixtures to modern, energy-efficient LEDs
- Renovations, loft conversions or rear extensions that need a compliant lighting layout
- Period properties where discreet cable routes and heritage-friendly fittings matter
- Self-builds needing RIBA-stage lighting drawings to accompany architectural plans
Five steps from call to final plan
What people usually ask before booking
What is a lighting distribution plan and why do I need one?
A lighting distribution plan is a scaled drawing that shows the exact location, circuit and switching of every light fitting, dimmer and control module in your home. It ensures optimum task, ambient and accent layers, prevents costly rewiring later, and helps your electrician install to UK Part P and Part L standards with minimal guesswork.
What affects how many hours my lighting plan needs?
Ceiling type is the biggest factor. A flat ceiling with straightforward access is the simplest case; suspended or drop ceilings, recessed ceilings, and rooms with multiple ceiling levels all take longer to plan and cost more in hours as a result. Tell us about your ceiling type when you get in touch and we can give a more accurate estimate upfront.
Do any of your interior design packages include a lighting distribution plan?
Yes, our Deluxe Makeover package includes a full lighting distribution plan at no extra charge, covering every room in the project scope.
What's the difference between a lighting distribution plan and a full lighting design service?
A lighting distribution plan is the technical blueprint: fixture positions, circuits, switching and load calculations, ready for your electrician to install. A full lighting design service goes further: creative concepts, daylight analysis and on-site aiming. We offer fitting selection as an add-on to the distribution plan, but that's product selection from our network of specialists and stockists, not a full design service.
Is the free discovery call the same as a paid lighting design consultation?
No. The free call is a short conversation to understand your project and explain how we'd approach it, not a working design session. If you'd like us to start exploring fixture positions and circuit layouts, that's the paid work covered in the process above.
