Yes, provided the existing lighting circuit is in safe condition and includes adequate earthing. We check the existing wiring, replace the rose or fitting, connect the cables securely and test the circuit to confirm it operates safely. ### Do you install outdoor lighting on exterior walls? We install exterior wall lanterns, floodlights and garden lighting wherever an appropriate electrical supply can be connected. Outdoor fittings are installed using weatherproof accessories and protected circuits. ### Will I receive paperwork after a new light fitting is installed? Yes. We supply written certification for electrical work. Minor alterations receive an electrical installation certificate or minor works record, while notifiable alterations are logged with building control through NAPIT. ### Can you change a standard light switch to a dimmer or two-way switch? Yes. We fit compatible dimmer switches for dimmable LED fittings and can run extra wiring to create two-way or multi-way switching in hallways, staircases and living spaces. ### Do you supply the light fittings or do I purchase them? You can supply your own preferred light fittings for us to fit, or we can provide standard luminaires, downlights and outdoor fittings by prior arrangement. ## Other services in Westbourne - [Electrician in Westbourne](https://mx2-electrical-ltd.co.uk/electrician-westbourne): Domestic and suitable commercial electrical repairs, testing and planned work across Westbourne, Alum Chine, West Cliff and BH4. - [Lighting Installation (all areas)](https://mx2-electrical-ltd.co.uk/services/lighting-installation): MX2 Electrical fits and replaces lighting in Poole, Bournemouth and Dorset homes and workplaces.
