Back to top2) Steps we follow when carrying out a Light Fitting Installation
EMC Electrical Group will locate your consumer unit and turn off the power to the circuit the light fixture is on. We will then confirm that no electricity is flowing to that circuit with a voltage tester. Next we will remove the old fixture taking note of the cable positions before disconnecting the wire and unscrewing the base. Then we will prepare for the installation of the new light fitting ensuring to read all safety instructions. Yes even the professionals have to do this to protect against any unwanted scenarios! Connecting the wires from the new fixture to those in the ceiling is next and attaching it to the ceiling also. Bulbs can then be inserted if the light fitting requires the same followed by the power being reinstated via the consumer unit.
