Accessible Lighting & Electrical
Illuminate your home safely with accessible switches, power points, and smart lighting solutions.
Overview
Good lighting prevents falls and assists people with vision impairment. Accessible switches and power points mean you can control your environment independently.
Common Modifications
Lowered Switches
Light switches at 900-1200mm height instead of standard 1400mm. Easier to reach from wheelchair or when bending is difficult.
Large Rocker Switches
Wide switches easier to operate than small toggles. Require less dexterity and precision.
Raised Power Points
Power outlets at 500-900mm height reduce bending to floor level. Particularly important in kitchen and living areas.
Motion-Sensor Lighting
Automatic lights in hallways, bathrooms, and entries. Hands-free operation and enhanced safety during night.
Smart Lighting Control
Voice-controlled lights throughout home. App control, scheduling, and remote access. Adjustable brightness and color temperature.
Task Lighting
Additional lighting for specific activities. Under-cabinet kitchen lights, reading lights, and vanity lighting.
Key Considerations
- Switch and outlet locations
- Lighting levels for activities
- Natural light integration
- Energy efficiency
- Emergency lighting
- Electrical capacity for additions
