At Bestcare Appliance Repair, we combine technical expertise with creative design to deliver lighting solutions across Nairobi and Kenya that look stunning, last longer, and lower operating costs.

In this pillar post we cover our full range of lighting services, the areas we serve, detailed summaries of our work in each location, common lighting types and technologies, the design and installation process, maintenance and warranties, energy-saving tips and why Bestcare Appliance Repair is the right partner for your lighting project.
Why professional lighting design matters
Poor lighting is costly: higher energy bills, reduced comfort, and sometimes unsafe conditions. Professional lighting design aligns light levels, fixture selection and controls with how a space is used. The benefits include:
- Improved safety & compliance — correct emergency, security and exterior lighting to meet regulations.
- Energy efficiency — LED upgrades and smart controls that lower energy use and maintenance costs.
- Visual comfort & aesthetics — layering ambient, task and accent lighting for better appearance and usability.
- Longevity & reliability — correct load calculations, wiring and protection reduce failures.
- Value addition — good lighting raises property appeal and resale value.

The Bestcare Appliance Repair lighting design & installation process
We follow a proven process that ensures projects finish on time, on budget and to spec.
- Initial consultation & brief — we meet (onsite or virtually) to discuss needs, budget and milestones.
- Site survey & photometric analysis — measure spaces, record mounting heights, and run lux calculations using recognized standards.
- Concept & design — produce lighting plans, fixture schedules and visual mockups. We offer design options with projected energy savings.
- Budgeting & approval — clear quotation with materials, labour and timeline. We can supply fixtures or install client-supplied fittings.
- Installation & commissioning — certified electricians install, test and commission with documentation (as-built drawings, test certificates, warranties).
- Handover & training — we walk you through operation of controls and maintenance requirements.
- Maintenance & aftercare — scheduled maintenance packages, 24/7 emergency support options and priority call-outs for contract clients.
Lighting technologies & fixtures we install
| Lighting type | Use cases | Key benefits |
|---|---|---|
| LED downlights & panels | Homes, offices, retail | Energy efficient, long life, low heat |
| High-bay LEDs | Warehouses, factories | High lumen output, robust, low maintenance |
| Floodlights & security lights | Yards, perimeters | Bright, durable, motion/dusk controls |
| Stage & theatrical lights | Event spaces, theatres | DMX control, colour mixing, precise beam control |
| Landscape & garden lights | Gardens, pathways | Low-voltage options, IP-rated, aesthetic impact |
| Emergency & exit lights | Commercial, public buildings | Life-safety compliance, maintained/non-maintained |
| Smart controls & sensors | Offices, hotels, homes | Dimming, occupancy sensing, energy optimisation |
We work with reputable luminaire brands and can advise on the best products for budget, colour-rendering (CRI), and warranty terms.
Energy savings & ROI — why LED + controls pay off
Switching to LEDs combined with smart controls typically reduces lighting energy use by 50–80% depending on the starting point. For businesses this means rapid payback through lower electricity bills and reduced maintenance (longer lamp life). Our energy audit reports provide a clear estimate of expected savings and payback period.
Compliance, safety & warranties
Bestcare Appliance Repair follows Kenyan electrical safety regulations and industry best practices. For commercial projects we provide:
- Compliance checks for emergency lighting and escape routes.
- Load and circuit calculations to prevent overloads.
- Test certificates on commissioning (where requested).
- Manufacturer warranties and our installation workmanship warranty.
Pricing & quotations
Every project is unique — scope, fixture choice, access and controls affect cost. To provide a fair fixed-price quotation we do a no-obligation site survey and deliver a clear written estimate. For budget planning, a typical apartment lighting revamp (LED downlights, switches and basic controls) can be quoted after a quick site visit; large commercial fit-outs and industrial installs are priced per scope with staged payments.
Maintenance packages
We offer tailored maintenance packages:
- Basic: Annual inspection, lamp replacements and cleaning.
- Standard: Bi-annual inspections, priority lamp replacement and spare parts discount.
- Premium: Quarterly inspections, 24/7 emergency response, full system diagnostics and free commissioning retests for the first year.
