Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We install basic home automation in Premià de Mar. We visit the property, assess the work, provide a clear price, and get started. Outdoor lighting for terraces, patios, and gardens. The critical factor here is resistance to salt spray and humidity. Luminaires with an IP65 protection rating or higher are mandatory in coastal areas. Normal luminaires without IP protection last 1-2 years on the seafront before corrosion renders them useless.

How We Work

To add a new socket where there wasn't one before, there are two approaches. The first is chasing. This involves opening a channel in the wall from the nearest socket to the new point, running the cable inside, and then closing the channel with plaster. It's the most visually clean option, but it involves minor construction work and repainting the wall. Timeline: 4-6 hours plus wall repair. Changing a standard switch to a dimmer switch requires first checking that the luminaire is compatible. Standard LED bulbs are often not dimmable. Only LEDs labelled 'dimmable' work well with a dimmer. Old halogen lights do dim without issue, but they are rarely used now due to consumption.

The circuit breaker, also called an automatic switch, protects against overloads and short circuits. If you connect too many appliances to the same circuit or if two wires touch due to a fault, the circuit breaker trips and cuts the power. Its function is to protect the installation cables and prevent fires.

Frequently asked questions

How many spotlights do I need in my living room?
For a 20 m² living room, 3,000 total lumens distributed across 6-10 5W LED spotlights. We calculate on-site based on ceiling height and use.
LED or halogen for wet areas like bathrooms?
LED with a minimum IP44 protection. Halogen is dangerous near water due to temperature and consumption. LED is safe and efficient.
Can LED strips be installed on a plasterboard ceiling?
Yes, in a recessed aluminium profile during the plasterboard phase. If the plasterboard is already closed, it goes into a semi-recessed profile glued to the ceiling.
Does outdoor lighting resist salt spray?
Only with an IP65 protection rating or higher and suitable materials (stainless steel, UV-treated plastic). Normal ones corrode within 1-2 years in coastal areas.
