I’m Really happy with the work from both of them. They installed a new socket in our conservatory and did a great job. They were both professional, friendly, tidy and made sure everything was done properly. I’m very pleased with the result and would definitely recommend them. Thank you both for your hard work!

MX2 came along promptly to quote, their quote was reasonable and they gave us options. The work itself was done quickly, efficiently and very neatly, they went the extra mile adding extra without quibbling, and they left the flat in a very tidy space.

Proper lighting design accounts for the age of your electrical installation, ceiling construction and switching needs across homes in Poole, Bournemouth and Wimborne.
Victorian and Edwardian houses in Westbourne and Parkstone often have lath and plaster ceilings or older wiring routes. We check cable condition and support structures before fitting heavier pendant lights or chandeliers.
Modernising to LED downlights or feature lighting reduces energy use but requires compatible dimmers and drivers. We verify that existing lighting circuits handle the driver loads without flickering.
Exterior lights on coastal properties around Mudeford or Sandford need correct ingress protection ratings. We install weather-resistant fittings and automated sensors wired to dedicated switches.
We install domestic and light commercial lighting setups according to UK safety standards. Here is what is included and what falls outside standard work.
Here is the process followed on site during your lighting installation in Poole and surrounding areas.
We locate your consumer unit, isolate the relevant lighting circuits and test that no live voltage remains before disconnecting old fittings or handling cables.
We secure brackets into solid timber joists or suitable anchors, connect line, neutral and earth conductors correctly, and mount the light fittings securely.
We install and wire switches, configure multi-way switching or dimmer modules, and run instrument tests to confirm earth continuity and safe operation.
Once the lighting installation is complete, you receive verified results and clear information about your installation.
Use one local team for electrical inspection, diagnosis, installation and certification across homes, workplaces and light-industrial settings.

Common questions about lighting design, fitting replacement, and circuit safety in domestic and commercial properties.
Yes. I regularly install fittings supplied by homeowners, provided they are undamaged, complete with manufacturer instructions, and compliant with UK safety standards. I check the weight against ceiling fixings and confirm the fitting has adequate earthing before connecting it.
Yes, modern metal light fittings require an earth connection for safety. In older homes around Poole and Bournemouth, older lighting circuits sometimes lack a circuit protective conductor. I test your existing wiring first; if no earth is present, I will advise you on installing double-insulated Class II fittings or rewiring the circuit.
LED bulbs require dedicated trailing-edge or LED-compatible dimmers that match their low wattage. Traditional leading-edge dimmers designed for halogen lamps often cause buzzing, flashing, or premature bulb failure. Replacing the wall switch with a compatible LED dimmer resolves the issue.
Minor alterations such as replacing light fittings or switches on existing circuits do not require Building Regulations notification. However, adding new circuits or installing specific lighting in special locations like bathrooms may require notification and certification under Part P, handled through our NAPIT registration.
Reference official UK regulations and safety advice concerning electrical installations and building compliance.
