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 Abu Dhabi 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.
- Position of each light measured from the shower and basin
- Fittings with a suitable ingress protection rating selected
- Connections made in sealed boxes, not taped joints
- Mirror light or demister pad wired through its own driver
How we carry out bathroom and mirror lighting
How close a fitting sits to the shower, the bath and the basin decides what rating it needs, so the room is measured before any light is chosen. Sealed downlights go over the wet areas and the gasket is seated against the ceiling. Mirror lights are placed at face height on both sides, or behind the mirror as a halo, since a single light from above throws shadows under the eyes. Joints are made in sealed boxes and drivers sit outside the wettest part of the room.
Abu Dhabi bathrooms often have no window, and humid air is drawn through the ceiling void by the extract fan. An ordinary downlight lets that air through. Its reflector rusts, the lamp holder corrodes and the earth leakage device starts tripping. Mirror cabinets with built in lights are another weak point when the feed is a taped joint behind the tile. The site visit checks the extract fan, the ceiling void and where a safe feed can be taken from.
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.

Bathroom and Mirror Lighting in The Source: what we plan for
A newer group of apartment buildings in the Saadiyat Cultural District, close to the museums and the beach. Tower rules on permits, service lifts and working hours apply even to a short visit, and we arrange all three.
Outdoor condensers near the beach corrode quickly, so coils are washed and fins checked at every visit. Villas also run pool pumps, booster pumps and water heaters that are logged and serviced on a schedule.
Saadiyat villa communities are gated, so the resident registers our crew with security first. Apartment buildings ask for a work permit and a service lift booking. Anything on the exterior needs the master community's approval; we identify this at the site visit and prepare the paperwork asked for.

Questions about bathroom and mirror lighting in The Source
What does bathroom and mirror lighting include?
Bathroom lights and mirror lights are chosen with an ingress protection rating for their position, and every connection is sealed against steam and splashes. The work includes position of each light measured from the shower and basin; fittings with a suitable ingress protection rating selected; connections made in sealed boxes, not taped joints.
Do bathroom lights need a special rating?
They need an ingress protection rating that suits where they sit. A light directly over a shower needs more protection than one in the middle of the ceiling. We check each position and choose to the manufacturer's instructions.
Can you add a light behind my existing mirror?
Usually, if the mirror can be taken down safely and stands off the wall enough for strip in a channel. The driver has to sit somewhere dry and within reach, so we look at the wall and the nearest feed first.
How much does bathroom and mirror lighting cost in The Source, Saadiyat Island?
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 bathroom and mirror lighting in The Source, Saadiyat Island?

How long does bathroom and mirror lighting take?
Typically 1 to 3 hours for a few fittings, longer for whole rooms. The time for your property is confirmed with the quotation.
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.
Why do my LED lights flicker?
Four causes account for most flicker: a failing driver, a dimmer that does not suit the lamp, a loose neutral, or a transformer carrying more than it should. We test for them in turn instead of swapping lamps at random, and show you what we found.
Can a heavy chandelier hang from a gypsum ceiling?
Not from the board itself. The weight has to go to the slab or a joist through a fixing rated for the load, with the gypsum only covering it. We open a small access above the position, set the anchor and close the ceiling around the rose.
Do you arrange the building permit in The Source, Saadiyat Island?
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.
