Recessed downlights are a great source of lighting output and look fantastic (although I personally wouldn’t have them in every single room in my house). If I had a pound for how many I have installed during my time as an electrician, I could probably buy a week’s holiday in Vegas!

In this blog, I am offering you some advice in what to look for when installing these in your property and some hints and tips about what products are currently out there on the market.

How many should I have?

Did you know that smoke alarms have a best before date?? The technology inside your mains powered or battery smoke detector begins to break down over time and
becomes less reliable.

You can visually see the best before date on the side of most, if not, all of the smoke detectors installed in this country. A brand new smoke/heat/C.O detector is good for 10 years.

With the pandemic that is COVID19 forcing us to remain in our homes, now is a great time to visually inspect our alarms and check that they are still within their recommended life span. I know I will be!
