Who’s Behind LightGuru
Hi, we are the LightGuru team.
We’ve spent 20 Years working with lighting – from helping homeowners choose the right fittings, to reviewing outdoor lights, to staying on top of new LED technology and energy-saving regulations.
After helping so many with their lighting choices, I realised how confusing lighting can be:
What wattage should you pick?
Where should downlights be placed?
Is warm white always better?
So I started LightGuru to share everything I’ve learned in a simple, friendly way – no jargon, no sales pitches.

Why Lighting Advice Matters More Than Ever
Good lighting isn’t just decoration anymore. It affects how we relax, how we focus, how we sleep and even how we feel throughout the day. That’s why LightGuru is built around lighting advice UK readers can trust, rooted in real homes and real experiences. We understand that most people don’t want complicated electrical explanations or pushy sales talk. They want clear answers. They want ideas that make sense. And they want practical guidance tailored to the way they live.
Lighting in UK homes is unique – smaller rooms, mixed natural light, older properties, new-build layouts and a wide range of interior styles. Our guides take all of that into account. Whether you’re creating a cosy living room, brightening a north-facing kitchen or adding ambience to a rented flat, we break things down with honest, easy-to-follow advice.
Our Research Process
Every article we publish is created through a careful research process. We analyse real lighting setups, review the latest technologies and test different ideas in typical UK home environments. We focus heavily on clarity, accuracy and usability. When we recommend techniques or approaches, it’s because we’ve seen what works – and what doesn’t.
Our goal is to give you UK lighting advice that you can apply instantly, without needing a professional installer or expensive equipment. Sometimes a better bulb choice, a smarter placement or a basic understanding of lighting temperature can change everything.
We purchase bulbs anonymously, test them in real UK home environments (not just a studio), and measure lux levels using Lux Light Meter Pro to ensure our brightness claims are accurate.
Helping You Create a Home That Feels Right
Great lighting doesn’t need to be expensive or complicated. With the right knowledge, anyone can transform their living space into something warm, inviting and personal.
