What we do

Lighting design

Where the light goes, how much and what kind: warm or neutral, brightness, zones. We calculate power, run lengths and voltage drop, so the end of a strip is as bright as its start.

General lighting

Spotlights, track lights, chandeliers, magnetic track systems. A separate circuit in the board for each zone, two-way switches where convenient.

LED strip and profiles

Aluminium profiles with diffusers in ceilings, niches and on stairs. You don't see the strip — only the light.

24 V power supplies and drivers

Power supplies go in the board, not "somewhere behind the plasterboard": easy to replace, a breaker and RCD per circuit, 20–30% power headroom.

Dimmers and scenes

Brightness and colour temperature from a switch, remote or phone. "Evening", "Guests" and "Night" scenes, motion sensors on the stairs.

Facade and landscape

Weatherproof IP65–IP67 fixtures, cable buried in protective conduit to code, separate circuits for the garden. An astronomical timer switches the lights on at sunset all year round.

How the lighting is powered and controlled

Diagram: the lighting board holds a breaker with an RCD, a 24 V power supply and a controller; a 24 V line runs from them to the LED strip in its profile, and the controller is operated from a wall switch, a radio remote, a phone and a motion sensor.
The power supply, sized with 20–30 % spare capacity, sits in the board rather than in the ceiling, so it is easy to replace, and the circuit is protected by a breaker and an RCD. Long strips are fed from both ends so the far end is as bright as the start.

How we work

  1. 01

    Visit and plan

    From ₴1,500 in Kyiv (from ₴2,000 outside the city); the amount is credited towards the cost of the work. We inspect the site and agree on what should be lit and how, where the board will go and how the cables will run.

  2. 02

    Estimate

    A list of strips, profiles, fixtures, drivers and controllers with prices, and labour as a separate line. No "give or take on site".

  3. 03

    Installation and setup

    Cable runs, profiles, board, drivers, controllers. We set up the remotes, switches and scenes, and the app on your phones.

  4. 04

    Handover and warranty

    We show you how to use everything and leave the board diagram. 1-year warranty on our work; equipment is covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

Indicative installation prices

Prices are for labour only, equipment not included. Strips, profiles, power supplies and controllers are listed in the estimate as separate lines with prices, and you approve them before installation. Exact estimate after the engineer's visit.

LED strip installation in an aluminium profile m from ₴250
Profile with diffuser installation (ceiling, niche, stairs) m from ₴180
24 V power supply in the board, circuit connection each from ₴600
Controller / dimmer, scene setup each from ₴900
Landscape light: installation and connection each from ₴450
Lighting board (RCDs, breakers, power supplies, controllers) board from ₴4,500

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is included in "turnkey lighting"?

Lighting design, general light fixtures, LED strips in profiles, power supply and protection in the board, controls and scenes, facade and grounds. You can order everything together or just one part — for example, only stair lighting or landscape lighting.

Can I control the lighting from my phone if there is no internet?

Yes, as long as the controllers support local control — we take that into account when choosing them. A radio remote or an ordinary switch needs no network at all. Internet is only needed to control things when you're away from home and for voice assistants.

Why put the power supplies in the board rather than next to the strip?

A power supply runs warm and occasionally fails. In the board it's easy to reach rather than sealed into a ceiling with no airflow, and the circuit is protected by a breaker and RCD. Replacing it takes 15 minutes instead of taking the ceiling apart.

How long will the LED strip last?

A quality strip in an aluminium profile with a correctly sized power supply lasts 8–10 years. Without a profile and with a power supply loaded to the limit — 2–3 years. That's why these are the two things we never cut corners on.

What about landscape lighting in winter?

IP65–IP67 fixtures and waterproof cable joints cope with snow and rain. Underground cable runs in conduit at a depth of 0.7 m, with a sand bed and warning tape.

Can lighting be added after the renovation is finished?

Yes: surface-mounted profiles, power from the nearest socket or lighting circuit, Wi-Fi controllers instead of new cable runs. It looks neat and needs no chasing.

Will this work with my smart home?

Yes. We choose controllers that work with popular smart home systems and voice assistants. During the visit we'll check what you already have — Sonoff smart relays, for example — and pick compatible controllers.
