Home & Commercial Lighting Installation in Tunbridge Wells & Kent
Good lighting transforms how a home looks and feels, and choosing the right electrician to install it makes all the difference. Select Mechanical and Electrical Contractors provides professional lighting installation for homeowners and businesses across Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge, Sevenoaks, Maidstone and the surrounding area. Whether you need a single ceiling light swapped out, a full set of LED downlights fitted throughout a kitchen, or a new outdoor lighting circuit for your garden, every job is carried out by our qualified team, and completed with an Electrical Installation Certificate where required.
We install all types of domestic and light commercial lighting. Popular requests include LED downlights replacing old halogen fittings, ceiling pendants and flush-mount lights, bathroom and kitchen lighting, outdoor and garden lighting, under-cabinet and feature lighting. We are happy to supply fittings on request, or to install fittings you have already purchased. If you are replacing an existing fitting on a working circuit the job is typically quick and straightforward. If you need a new circuit run, or want lighting added to a room that currently has none, we will price this clearly as part of your free quote.
The process from first contact to finished job is simple. Get in touch via the contact page or WhatsApp and we will arrange a free site visit to assess the work, check your consumer unit and discuss your preferences. You will then receive a fixed-price quote with no hidden extras. On the day of the installation, our electrician will complete all the work to the required standard, test everything thoroughly, and issue an Electrical Installation Certificate where required. Most single-room jobs are completed within a morning visit. For urgent lighting faults or power issues, we also offer an emergency electrician service across Tunbridge Wells and Kent.
The cost of lighting installation in Tunbridge Wells depends on the type and scope of work. A single light fitting replacement on an existing circuit is a short job, typically from around £60 to £90 including labour. A full set of LED downlights across a kitchen or living room generally falls between £150 and £400 depending on the number of fittings and the ceiling void available. Outdoor lighting installation involving a new weatherproof circuit varies with the cable run required. We always provide a clear fixed price before any work begins, so there are no surprises on completion. For a straightforward quote, get in touch via the contact page.

Decorative Wall Lights Install
Tunbridge Wells, TN2
A homeowner in the TN2 area wanted decorative wall lights fitted in their hallway as part of a wider redecoration. Our electrician identified the best route for the cable and completed the installation with minimal disruption to the surrounding plasterwork. The finished result sat flush to the wall with no visible cabling.
"Really happy with the result. The wall lights look great and the installation was neat and tidy. No mess left behind at all."

Frequently Asked
Questions
Everything you need to know about lighting installation — if you have a question we haven't answered, just get in touch with the team.
-
For a like-for-like replacement of a ceiling light on an existing circuit, there is no strict legal requirement to use a qualified electrician. However, having a professional do the work ensures connections are safe and correct. For any new circuit, changes to a consumer unit, bathroom lighting (which falls under Part P building regulations), or outdoor wiring, you must use a qualified electrician. As a Part P registered contractor, our team can sign off all electrical work and issue any required certification on the day.

A set of LED downlights across a kitchen or living room, replacing existing halogens, generally takes 2 to 4 hours depending on the number of fittings and any board work involved.

Yes. We install all types of outdoor lighting including wall-mounted security lights, path and driveway lighting, garden feature lighting and floodlights. Outdoor wiring must comply with current wiring regulations and be installed by a qualified electrician to protect against moisture and fault risk.
