Many homes across Newton Abbot, Exeter, Torbay and the wider Devon area have lofts that are underused simply because they are dark and awkward to access. Whether you use your loft for storage, as a hobby space, or simply want easier access when searching for the Christmas decorations, proper loft lighting makes all the difference
At A.M Electrics Devon Ltd, we regularly install safe, reliable lighting in lofts, giving homeowners a simple yet effective upgrade that makes everyday life easier.
Why Loft Lighting Matters
A loft without good lighting can be difficult – and sometimes dangerous – to use. Balancing on a ladder while holding a torch is not ideal. Installing permanent loft lighting gives you:
- Safety – no more struggling in the dark or tripping over boxes.
- Convenience – easily find what you’re looking for without needing a torch.
- Usability – a well-lit loft encourages you to make better use of the space.
The Best Lighting Options for Lofts
We often recommend 6ft LED batten lights for lofts. They’re bright, energy-efficient, and long-lasting – much better than the old single bulb on a cord. One well-placed LED batten usually provides enough light to cover the whole loft space. For larger lofts, we can install multiple fittings to ensure every corner is illuminated.
Adding a Switch in the Right Place
Many homes still have the traditional pull cord hanging from the rafters. While this works, it’s not always convenient. We can install a proper light switch at the loft entrance or even a two-way switch at the top and bottom of the loft ladder, so the lighting is easy to control.
Safe Loft Lighting Electrical Installation
As NAPIT-registered electricians, we always make sure loft lighting installations comply with BS 7671 wiring regulations. Safety is our top priority, ensuring cables are neatly run, correctly supported, and protected against damage.

FAQs About Loft Lighting
Do I really need a 6ft LED batten in my loft?
Yes – in most cases one 6ft LED batten is the perfect size. It gives bright, even coverage and is much more reliable than a single bulb.
Can you fit a switch at the top of the loft ladder?
Absolutely – it’s one of the most common upgrades we do for convenience and safety.
Is loft lighting expensive to run?
No – modern LED lights are highly energy-efficient. They only use a small amount of power, and since loft lights are used occasionally, running costs are minimal.
Can you fit more than one light if my loft is big?
Yes – we can install as many fittings as needed to properly light the space.
