Electrician in Stockholm
Softer light in the living room the same evening, whether you live in a flat or a terraced house. We install LED-compatible dimmers where the dimmer is included in the price — no flicker, no buzz, just the right light for the moment after a long day in the city.
Old dimmers and new LED bulbs are a common source of flicker and hum. The dimmers we install are made for LED and are calibrated against your specific light sources before we leave. If they do not work with the existing bulbs you will be told on the spot, so you are not left with an installation that jars in a newly decorated flat.
Add a Plejd dimmer as an option in your booking and you get app control, timers and scenes in the same visit — no extra call-out. Convenient in a busy city life where the lights might as well take care of themselves when you get home late.
An incandescent dimmer is built for an entirely different kind of load. LED bulbs draw so little current that the old dimmer cannot find a stable level — the result is flicker, buzzing or bulbs that never turn off completely. The bulbs are not the problem; the mismatch is. An LED dimmer with an adjustable minimum level fixes the problem at source, common in homes where the bulbs have been changed but the switch has not.
The light source must be marked dimmable — it says so on the packaging. A non-dimmable LED can flicker or be damaged by a dimmer, however good the dimmer is. Spotlights, pendants and wall lamps can all be dimmed with the right bulbs, and the electrician checks the whole picture before signing off the installation, whether it is a living room in a flat or a kitchen in a terraced house.
In the older housing stock the home's first switches and rotary knobs are often still in place. The mechanism wears, contacts become loose and the LED changeover has made old dimmers directly unsuitable. A replacement with a modern LED dimmer gives softer light and a switch that feels brand new — without any new cable runs, which keeps the intervention small in a flat where you prefer not to break into the walls.
No, the dimmer is wired permanently into the wall box and that is work for a qualified electrician. You can choose where in the home you want dimmable light, however — we take it from there.
Yes, an LED-compatible quality dimmer is included in the fixed price, as is calibration against your light sources before we leave the home.
Yes, as long as the spots are dimmable. If you have older halogen spots with a transformer you will be told on site what is needed for even light without flicker.
Yes, both rotary and push dimmers are available — and if you choose Plejd as an add-on you control with touch, app or both. Tell us in the booking which feel you want at home.
Each dimmer has a wattage range that the total load must fall within. The electrician checks this during calibration — if the group is too large you will be told and given a solution straight away.
