LED lighting installation in Edinburgh — save energy, cut costs and upgrade your home

LED lights are increasing in popularity and are becoming the new standard in lighting technology. Changing your lights to LED saves money because they require less electricity to run and they have a significantly longer lifespan — using about 75% less energy than halogen bulbs and lasting 5 to 10 times longer. The team at CapitalVolt can install LED lighting throughout your home, upgrading old fittings and transforming the look and efficiency of every room.

It makes sense to swap your lighting to LED for a variety of reasons. LEDs are energy efficient and powerful, producing impressive brightness from minimal wattage. They’re 100% recyclable, environmentally friendly, cooler to the touch and have an estimated lifespan of up to 25 years. Whether you’re looking to improve brightness or simply make your home more energy efficient, our fully qualified electricians are available across Edinburgh and the surrounding areas.

LED strip lighting is also becoming a must-have feature for the home. These efficient strips can be installed in concealed channels or cavities around kitchen worktops, under kickboards, below shelves, behind vanity mirrors, behind bed heads, in wardrobes, behind frames and along staircase bases. Let us create the look you want — from downlights and spotlights to strip lighting — thanks to our years of experience.

Frequently asked questions about LED lighting

Everything you need to know before booking an LED lighting installation in Edinburgh.

LEDs use about 75% less energy than halogen bulbs, so the savings add up quickly — especially if you’re upgrading multiple fittings across the home. They also last 5 to 10 times longer, meaning far fewer replacements over the years. Most homeowners see a noticeable reduction in their electricity bills within the first quarter after switching.

Not always — older dimmer switches were designed for halogen loads and can cause LED bulbs to flicker or buzz. We fit LED-compatible dimmer switches as part of the installation to make sure everything works smoothly. If your existing dimmers are already compatible, we’ll test and confirm before replacing anything unnecessarily.

Warm white (2700–3000K) gives a soft, cosy glow similar to traditional bulbs — ideal for living rooms, bedrooms and dining areas. Cool white (4000K+) is brighter and crisper, making it better suited to kitchens, bathrooms and workspaces. We’ll help you choose the right colour temperature for each room based on how you use the space.

LED strip lighting is incredibly versatile. Popular locations include under kitchen islands and worktops, below kickboards, behind vanity mirrors, behind bed heads, inside wardrobes, behind picture frames, along staircase bases and beneath shelving. The strips are installed in concealed aluminium channels for a clean, professional finish.

A straightforward like-for-like swap of a few fittings can be done in a couple of hours. A larger job — such as installing new downlights across multiple rooms or adding strip lighting to a kitchen — typically takes a full day. We’ll give you a clear time estimate when we quote so you can plan around the work.

What Our Customers Say

“Craig and his team were excellent. We needed a partial rewire, and they worked incredibly efficient and tidy while being transparent about the work being done. When they left, it was like they were never there. I can’t recommend them enough and will use them for any future electrical work.”

Steve Hill

“I recently had heaters installed at my flat by CapitalVolt Ltd , and I couldn’t be more pleased with the service. From the initial consultation to the final installation, the team was professional, prompt, and efficient. They made sure everything was set up to my satisfaction and took the time to explain how the heaters worked. Very happy with their service.”

Reema Fida
