Staircase Lighting in Dubai

Stair lighting uses low level step lights, strip under the nosing or handrail, or wall washers, switched from both floors or by a sensor at each end. The work includes layout marked tread by tread so no step is left in shadow; cable route found through the stair wall, soffit or cupboard below; two way switching or sensors set at top and bottom.

A sensor at the top and one at the bottom bring the lights on as someone approaches and switch them off after a set time. A daylight setting keeps them off while the stair is bright enough without them.

Often it is. Handrail strip, lights on the wall above the skirting line and fittings under the flight above all avoid the cladding. Where a chase is the only route, the quotation says so and explains how the stone will be made good.

We do not publish prices, because no two jobs are the same.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.

The MELLS provides staircase lighting in Dubai. 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.

Typically 1 to 3 hours for a few fittings, longer for whole rooms. The time for your property is confirmed with the quotation.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Towers and malls normally ask for a work permit, and a retail unit has to follow the landlord fit out guide. We identify what applies at the site visit and prepare the paperwork the building or the landlord asks for.

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.

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. The MELLS uses its own staff, quotes in writing after a site visit, checks every job (a measured test for every job, with photographs before and after) and puts right any failed check free of charge within 48 hours.

Clear access to the units, panels or areas to be worked on and note any faults you have noticed. The supervisor confirms anything else at the site visit.

No. Products, tools and machines come with the crew. Any materials the job needs, such as paint or parts, are listed in the written quotation.

Tell the supervisor at handover or call us. Anything that fails our check is put right free of charge within 48 hours.
