What is included
Light fixing and lighting installation for homes, offices and shops, from one replaced fitting to downlights, LED strip, pendants and outdoor lights. Most lighting faults in Dubai trace back to a fitting screwed into gypsum board alone, a driver with no headroom, or a joint that humidity has reached. Our own technicians isolate the circuit at the distribution board, prove it dead with a tester and work to the manufacturer's instructions. Any approval the building or the community asks for is identified at the site visit, and we prepare the paperwork.
- Work permit and permitted hours confirmed with building management
- Existing light points and conduits traced before new ones are added
- Concrete ceilings given surface lights, track or a dropped border
- Lift and corridor protection laid for ladders and materials
How we carry out apartment lighting installation
Most apartments have a concrete ceiling in the living room and bedrooms with one lighting point in the middle, and a false ceiling only in the corridor, kitchen and bathrooms. So the work is a mix: recessed downlights where there is a void, and surface fittings, track or a pendant cluster where there is slab. New points are fed through existing conduits where they have space. Where they do not, slim trunking or a narrow dropped bulkhead carries the cable and can hold cove strip as well.
Towers in Dubai normally ask for a work permit, limit noisy work to set hours and may want the technician details in advance. Drilling into a post tensioned slab without checking is a serious risk, so fixing depths are kept shallow and the building is asked about the slab. Tenants also need to know what the landlord allows. The site visit checks the ceilings, the feed points and the building rules, and we prepare the permit paperwork.
How it works
The same method on every job, so the result does not depend on who is on shift.
- Survey and diagnosis. A technician inspects the system or surface, takes readings and photographs, and explains what was found in plain language.
- Written quotation. You receive a written quotation against a defined scope before any work starts. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately.
- Protected, supervised work. The work area is protected and isolated, and the job is carried out by our own technicians under a named supervisor.
- Testing. Every job ends with a measured test suited to the discipline, so the result is a reading and a photograph and not an opinion.
- Report and warranty. The completed report reaches you within the hour. Any failed point is put right free of charge within 48 hours.

Questions about apartment lighting installation in Marina Gate, Dubai Marina
What does apartment lighting installation include?
Apartment lighting is installed within the building rules, using the existing points and ceiling voids where possible and a work permit where the tower asks for one. The work includes work permit and permitted hours confirmed with building management; existing light points and conduits traced before new ones are added; concrete ceilings given surface lights, track or a dropped border.
I rent my apartment. Can I still change the lights?
Swapping a fitting on an existing point is usually accepted, and we keep the original so it can go back when you leave. Cutting ceilings or adding points needs the landlord to agree, so read your tenancy terms first.
Can lights be added to a concrete ceiling without a false ceiling?
Surface mounted spots, track and pendants fed from the existing centre point all work on bare slab. Another route is a shallow dropped border around the room, which hides cable and gives a cove for strip.
How much does apartment lighting installation cost in Marina Gate, Dubai Marina?
We do not publish prices, because no two jobs are the same. The main factors: size and type of the system or surface; present condition and ease of access. Book a site visit: a supervisor from The MELLS looks at the work and you receive a written quotation with a defined scope before anything begins.
Who provides apartment lighting installation in Marina Gate, Dubai Marina?
The MELLS provides apartment lighting installation in Marina Gate, Dubai Marina. The work is carried out by people The MELLS employs directly, under a named supervisor, 08:00 to 19:00, Monday to Saturday. To arrange it, book a site visit on this page or call +971 55 444 0084.
How long does apartment lighting installation take?
Typically 1 to 3 hours for a few fittings, longer for whole rooms. The time for your property is confirmed with the quotation.
Should every light in a room be the same colour?
Within one room, yes. Warm white suits living rooms and bedrooms, and neutral white suits kitchens and work areas. Two whites on one ceiling look patchy, so we read the colour temperature printed on each lamp before it is fitted.
Do you fix and install lights in Marina Gate, Dubai Marina?
Yes. Our own technicians replace single fittings and install complete lighting in villas, apartments, offices and shops across Dubai. A site visit confirms the ceiling type, the fixing points and the circuit before the scope is put in writing.
Can you install lights that I have bought myself?
Yes. Have the fitting out of its box at the site visit so we can check its weight, the driver it needs and its rating for the room. If a bathroom or garden fitting is not sealed for that location, we tell you before it goes up.
Do you arrange the building permit in Marina Gate, Dubai Marina?
Yes. Most buildings ask contractors for a work permit, trade licence, insurance and staff IDs, and a service lift booking. We submit all of it for you.
Do you handle the building work permit?
Yes. We submit the permit, trade licence, insurance and staff IDs to building management and book the service lift.
How do I choose a company for apartment lighting installation in Marina Gate, Dubai Marina?
Ask four things: who employs the people who will come, whether the scope is written down before work starts, how the result is checked, and what happens if something is missed.
