PK Electrical was recently on a mini break and got inspired by the local Spanish light fittings..It's amazing what can be done with old pieces you may have lying around the house. From flower pots to old colanders you too may be inspired to create a unique fitting for your home. Need help with wiring or ideas? Call us 0873000407.

So it's happened to you before...your kids have robbed your charger adapter or your better half has taken it to plug in her kindle (because she "just can't sleep without it!") and you're left with a dead phone and a useless bit of wire. Now, there's a solution! Here's a double socket that has a built in USB port so your charger can go straight into the wall, without the bits that keep walking off! Put one next to your bed and that's your phone, iPad, alarm clock and lamp all connected...minus the awkward extension lead. They're easy to install and come in a range of finishes that suit your decor...best part is you know some one who can do it! Call Peter 0873000407

You're all geared up to cheer on Ireland...Your pint is chilled to perfection...Your jersey is ironed and worn proudly...The tv is set to full volume. It's game time! After what will be 80 minutes of nail biting rugby, you'll switch off the box and the night will continue. However, that little red light on your tv will stay shining brightly. Did you know that on average that light will cost you €20 a year? Did you know that on average 9-16% of electricity consumed in the home is used by appliances on stand by. On a bill of €500 thats as much as €80...That's an extremely significant price for nothing! Now you can fit switches on your everyday appliances that can be turned on and off by remote only when you need them. We stock these handy units and can fit them for you, just call!
Come on Ireland!

Here’s an interesting statistic:
The average house has 20 SPOTLIGHT FITTINGS in their home.
With the old 50 WATT BULB, the average cost of running these for an 5 HOUR period every day is €378 PER YEAR.
With the new 5 WATT LED replacement bulbs, the cost over the same period is €38 PER YEAR.
That’s a €340 difference!
That’s 485 Creme Eggs,
Or 170 Cups of Coffee,
Or 7 Nights in Tenerife for 2,
Or 1 Weeks Ski Rental for 4 in Italy!
Got you thinking??
Give us a call today and we will show you the best bulbs on the market..

Light switches have come a long way since the days of the bulky, white plastic casing. They are now considered to be part of the decoration rather than just utilitarian and often prove to be a tricky decision when picking which one suits your room. There is a huge range of switches to chose from! Chrome, matte, wooden, patterned, screwless, flat plate, slim line..the list goes on! However, if you want to take things to the next level and 'smarten' up your home, here's a cool new product. This product from Legrand takes things to another level! Check out the video and contact us if you're interested in getting these in your home.

Switches and dimmers form the heart of the adorne collection. Whether you favor a simple touch (like on your smart phone), a satisfying click, or even the si...

Electricity is a powerful thing.
To some it's beautiful art.
To others it's industrial necessity.
Many consider it atmosphere defining.
Whichever way you look at the light, it's safe to say it's easily customised. The electrical world is constantly evolving, becoming greener and more efficient and definitely more exciting! Take this Lukas Peet bulb, just an example of how the regular is modernising. However you picture lighting up your life, contact us. We'll make your vision a reality.
