Wall light installation ?

Posted by Tammy Tracey, on
How possible is it to get wall lights installed in walls. Thought i could maybe plug them in to the switches but ive been adviced this is not the case. But i can't have them - 8 in total going in to the electric directly as i live in a rented flat but i really do not want floor standing lights. I realise i will have a wire on the wall but my walls are white so this would not bother me as long as they are stapled to the walls and as tidy as possible.

Hi Tammy I suggest you ask your landlord nicely and see if he will get some installed for you? or ask him if he would mind you getting them done if you pay for them. They need installing properly by a competent person.This would involve either burying the cables into the wall or running them in white mini trunking,which personally I think will look rubbish.Either way its not a 5 minute job to do. Speak to the landlord nicely Thanks
