When it comes to installing lighting in your loft, there are several options to consider:
- LED Baton Lights:
- These are extremely bright and energy-efficient.
- Fix the baton lights in place using brackets and clips.
- Run a power feed from an existing upstairs light and use Wago connectors to join the live, neutral, and earth wires.
- Connect the loft lights in a daisy chain fashion using Wago connectors.
- Secure the Wago connectors inside Wago boxes and fasten them to the timbers.
- Test the lights and enjoy the brightness
- Existing Socket Circuit:
- Tap into an existing socket circuit and add an extra plug socket in the loft.
- Use the socket switch as your on/off switch for the loft lights.
- Consider installing a double socket to test Christmas lights before bringing them down each year3.
- Safety Considerations:
- Always follow safety guidelines when working with electrical installations.
- If you’re unsure, consult a professional electrician to ensure proper installation and compliance with regulations.
Remember that proper installation ensures safety and functionality. Whether you’re looking to brighten up your loft or garage, Elec Tek Installations can provide expert advice and quality service.
