Also another question spicegirl, did you get lights to your stairs? If so how much were they each
Hi stayxtrue, we decided to forego step lights at approx. $200 each. We can't have a batten in ceiling to change later as Henley wont do that due to health & safety, they will do a junction box only. We decided to forego that also. So we have now two wall lights, both on same wall but at different heights so one for each flight, to be upgraded later. This was the suggestion by our consultant. Very fancy process, as the electrical plan is updated live in front of us.
In one of our quotes I asked for in stair well lighting identical to the lighting in display homes and it came back at $1000 for junction boxes only. Shook my head in disbelief considering there is probably $100 in materials plus an hrs work for the spark at most, there is a very big margin to discourage people from doing it for some strange reason??
I haven't ruled it out completely, having 2 brothers whom are sparkies, I will see how I get on with the site supervisor at build and see if i can get permission for them to do it
