Frequently asked questions
Why do my LED lights flicker or glow when off?
Common culprits: non-dimmable LEDs on a dimmer, leading-edge dimmers driving LED loads, switch-loop induced ghost voltage, or cheap drivers. An electrician can match the dimmer to the load or fit a bypass capacitor — usually a quick, inexpensive fix.
Is outdoor and garden lighting a bigger job than indoor?
Usually — it needs weatherproof (IP-rated) fittings, protected cable runs (buried or clipped), and often RCD/GFCI protection on the circuit. Low-voltage garden systems are cheaper to extend safely; mains-voltage outdoor work is firmly electrician territory.
What should I know about bathroom lighting?
Bathrooms have zoned rules: fittings near showers and baths must carry appropriate ingress protection (IP) ratings, and many jurisdictions restrict who may do the work. Choose IP44 or better near water and confirm the installer knows the zone requirements.
What is involved in adding a dimmer switch?
Swapping the switch is quick, but the dimmer must match the load type — LED lamps need trailing-edge dimmers and 'dimmable' rated bulbs, or you get flicker and buzz. Smart dimmers may also need a neutral at the switch, which older homes often lack.
Can a heavy chandelier hang from any ceiling?
No — standard ceiling boxes/hooks hold only a few kilograms. Heavier fittings need a rated support fixed to structure, and stairwell or double-height installs need scaffolding or specialist access. Tell the installer the fixture weight and location when getting quotes.
Why does ceiling type matter for light installation in Hong Kong flats?
Most HK ceilings are structural concrete: every fitting needs drilled anchors, and heavy chandeliers need expansion bolts into slab — false-ceiling boards alone cannot carry them. Quotes assume concrete drilling; renovated false ceilings may need backing checks first.
