Installation

Lighting We Install

For light installation in Doha, tell us the type of fitting and the ceiling it is going on. That is enough for us to plan the visit.

Chandeliers and pendants

Assembled, hung from a fixing that suits the weight, and wired. Tall stairwells and double-height majlis ceilings included.

LED spotlights and downlights

Cut into gypsum ceilings in an even grid, with the drivers placed where they can be reached later.

Strip and cove lighting

LED strip in ceiling coves, under kitchen cabinets and behind TV walls, with the power supply hidden.

Garden and outdoor lights

Weatherproof wall lights, bollards, spike lights and gate lights, wired for outdoor use.

Shop and office lighting

Panel lights, track lights for displays, and the power feed for shop signs.

Sensors, dimmers and timers

Motion sensors for corridors and stores, dimmers matched to your LED lamps, timers for outdoor circuits.

Why Do LED Lights Flicker?

Start with a simple test. If one lamp flickers, swap it with a lamp from another fitting. If the flicker moves with the lamp, the lamp is at fault. If it stays where it was, the fitting, its driver or the wiring needs checking.

If every light on a circuit flickers together, or the lights dim each time the AC starts, the cause is further back: a loose connection or a circuit carrying too much. That calls for a DB board and circuit breaker check, not a new lamp.

A flicker that comes with a buzzing sound or a warm switch is a different matter. Switch that light off and have it looked at soon.

The five usual causes of flicker

  • A dimmer that is not made for LED lamps
  • An LED driver that is failing
  • A loose connection at the fitting or the switch
  • A poor-quality or mismatched lamp
  • Voltage dipping when a large appliance starts
Chandeliers

How a Chandelier Is Hung Safely

A chandelier is the heaviest thing most ceilings ever carry. These four steps keep it up there.

  1. Check the weight

    We ask for the weight and the drop of the fitting, or read both from the box.

  2. Fix to the structure

    A heavy fitting is anchored into the concrete slab or a steel support, never into gypsum board alone.

  3. Assemble and wire

    The frame goes up first, then the arms, crystals and lamps. The connection is made in a proper junction.

  4. Test and level

    We switch on, check every lamp, and adjust the chain or rod so the fitting hangs straight at the right height.

Choosing fittings

Indoor and Outdoor Lights Are Not the Same

Indoors

Dry rooms give you the widest choice of fittings.

  • Warm white for living rooms and bedrooms
  • Cool white for kitchens and work areas
  • Dimmers only with dimmable lamps
  • Damp-rated fittings in bathrooms

Outdoors

Heat, dust and humidity in Qatar are hard on fittings.

  • Weatherproof, IP-rated fittings
  • Sealed cable joints
  • A separate circuit with ELCB protection
  • Timers or sensors to cut running hours

FAQ

Lighting Questions We Hear Most

Can you install a chandelier I bought myself?

Yes. Tell us its weight and the type of ceiling, and send a photo of the box if you can. We bring fixings to suit and assemble the fitting on site.

Can a chandelier hang from a gypsum ceiling?

Not from the gypsum alone. A small opening is made so the fixing can be anchored into the concrete slab above, and the ceiling rose then covers the opening.

Why do my LED bulbs glow faintly when switched off?

A small current is still reaching the lamp, usually through a switch with an indicator light, a dimmer, or wiring where the switch breaks the neutral wire and not the live one. It is rarely dangerous, but it should be checked, and the fix is normally at the switch.

How many spotlights does a room need?

It depends on the room size, the ceiling height and the output of the lamps. As a rough guide, downlights are spaced 1 to 1.5 metres apart and kept about half that distance from the walls. We mark the layout on the ceiling for you to approve before anything is cut.

Can you put lights in the garden or on the boundary wall?

Yes. Outdoor lights need weatherproof fittings, sealed joints and a circuit with ELCB protection. We can add a timer or a sensor so they do not burn all night.

Can lighting in a shop or office be done outside opening hours?

Yes. From Saturday to Thursday we work around the clock, so lighting can be changed after closing time and be ready when you open.
