Who it's for Anyone using a phone torch to navigate the loft. Families using boarded lofts for serious storage. Anyone planning regular loft access for seasonal items, business stock or future conversion. When you need it Best fitted at the same time as boarding, wires can be run before the floor goes down. Retrofit installs are equally clean but slightly more involved. Why it matters Headtorches and phone lights drop, blind the user and leave hands occupied. Proper fixed lighting is a safety upgrade, not a luxury, and one of the cheapest comfort upgrades you can add to a loft. The Real Cost of Ignoring This ## Why Loft Lighting Matters More Than You Think Most loft accidents happen because the user couldn't see what they were stepping on, lifting or reaching. A simple lighting upgrade prevents the most common cause. ### What it costs to ignore - Falls from missing the next joist or board edge in the dark. - Items dropped from height because hands were holding torches. - Vermin and damp going unnoticed for years in unlit lofts. - Insurance claims rejected where lighting was inadequate to inspect roof timber damage. ### Common mistakes we fix - Battery-powered tap-lights that fail when you most need them. - Halogen bulbs running hot near insulation or stored items. - DIY-wired lights on a spur from a downlight, unsafe and non-compliant. - Single light in a 30m² loft creating worse shadows than no light at all. Our Process ## The 5-step loft lighting system 1. 01 ### Survey We map the loft, recommend light positions for full coverage and confirm switch location at the hatch. 2. 02 ### Cable Run Mains-grade 1.5mm twin-and-earth cable run from a fused spur, clipped neatly along joists. 3. 03 ### Fixture Install 10W LED panel lights or batten fixtures fitted at planned positions, cool-running and dimmable optional. 4. 04 ### Switch & Test Switch fitted at the hatch or pull-cord position, full safety check on every fitting. 5. 05 ### Sign-Off Lights tested in front of you, tidy handover. Why It's Worth It ## The measurable benefits ### Hands-Free Loft Access Light flicks on as you climb the ladder, no torch, no phone, no fumbling. ### Long-Life LED Panels Modern LED panels run 50,000+ hours, no bulb changes for the rest of the time you own the house. ### Cool-Running & Safe LEDs run at 35°C versus 200°C+ for halogen, no fire risk near insulation.

Choosing the right fixtures, cable spec and fittings correctly is what separates a safe install from a fire risk. ### LED vs Halogen vs Fluorescent LED panel lights at 10W deliver the same brightness as a 60W halogen, run at a fraction of the temperature, and outlast both halogen and fluorescent by 10–15×. There is no scenario where halogen is the right choice for a modern loft. ### Coverage & Spacing One 10W panel covers roughly 10m² of loft floor. A typical 25m² boarded loft needs three panels for shadow-free coverage. We mark positions during survey. ### Combining With Boarding If you're booking boarding work, lighting cables can be run before the floor goes down, saving 30–40% on the lighting install cost. We recommend bundling. FAQ ## Loft Lighting questions, straight answers ### How long does install take? ### Will you make a mess? ### Are the lights bright enough?
