Light diffuser removed, properly cleaned, and refitted - you'll be amazed how much brighter your room looks. Quick job that makes a real difference.
### When Did Your Lights Get So Dim?
They didn't. Your light diffusers (the plastic or glass covers over the bulbs) are filthy.
**Years of dust, dead flies, and grime** have built up inside them. You don't notice it happening gradually, but it blocks a surprising amount of light.
Clean them and it's like someone turned the brightness up. Costs nothing, takes 15 minutes.

### Why Light Diffusers Get Disgusting
| Clean Diffuser | Dirty Diffuser | |---------------|----------------| | Light passes through clearly | Blocked by dust and dead bugs | | Room feels bright | Room feels dim and dingy | | Easy to remove and wash | Stuck with heat/age, risk breaking it | | White or clear | Yellow or grey from grime |
Bathroom lights are usually the worst - humidity makes dust stick like glue.

### The Process
**🔧 What I Do** 1. Turn power off (obviously) 2. Remove diffuser/cover carefully 3. Wash properly (warm soapy water) 4. Dry thoroughly 5. Check bulbs while it's apart 6. Refit securely 7. Power back on
**💡 You Get** - Noticeably brighter lighting - Properly clean diffuser inside and out - Checked bulbs and fitting - No risk of you dropping and smashing it

### Pricing
| Job | Time | You'll Pay | |-----|------|------------| | Single ceiling light | 15 mins | **£60** | | Multiple lights same room | Add 10 mins each | **£60-£85** |
*£60 minimum covers the visit. Worth doing all the dim lights at once.*
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Do this every couple of years and your lights stay bright. Leave it a decade and the difference is shocking when you finally clean them.

You'd be horrified what comes off bathroom lights especially. ### Step 3: Dry & Refit Dry thoroughly (wet diffuser back on warm bulbs = cracking), check bulbs, click back into place.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **All your lights looking dim?** While I'm there with the ladder, makes sense to do them all. Bathroom, kitchen, hallway - the ones you use most are always the dirtiest. **Bathroom lights** accumulate the worst grime because of humidity. Steam makes dust stick. Clean these twice as often as other rooms if you want to stay on top of it. **Yellow plastic diffusers** - if they've gone yellow from heat damage, that's permanent. Cleaning helps but won't reverse the yellowing. Replacement diffusers are cheap if needed. **Fluorescent tube covers** - the long plastic covers over strip lights. These are often worse than ceiling lights because nobody ever cleans them. Huge difference when you do. **Exeter's older houses?** Period properties often have lovely original ceiling roses with glass shades. These get filthy too but are more delicate. I'll clean them carefully - they're usually worth preserving. **While the power's off...** If you've been meaning to upgrade those ancient energy-guzzling halogens to LEDs, now's the time to mention it. Takes 2 minutes while the fitting's open.
Frequently Asked Questions about Light diffuser cleaning in Crediton
How much difference does cleaning them actually make?
Massive, honestly. Dead flies, dust, and grime build up over years - blocks a surprising amount of light. Clean them and it's like you've doubled the wattage. Bathroom diffusers are usually the worst - humidity makes dust stick.
Can't I just wipe them while they're up there?
You can, but you won't get them properly clean that way - can't reach the inside, can't see what you're missing. Taking them down and washing properly makes a huge difference. Plus you risk dropping them trying to clean in situ.
What about LED panels - can you clean those?
The panel itself yes, but they're a bit more fiddly to take apart. Some are sealed units you can only wipe down. Older fluorescent light covers with removable diffusers are easy - pop the cover off, wash the plastic diffuser, done.
Will you check the bulbs while you're there?
Yeah, always do. If there's dead bulbs or ones looking dim I'll let you know. Can swap them there and then if you've got spares, or I can bring some if you tell me what you need when booking.
My bathroom light has gone yellow and cloudy - will cleaning help?
If it's yellowed from heat (cheap plastic near hot bulbs), cleaning won't reverse that - the plastic's degraded. But worth a clean anyway, and I'll let you know if it needs replacing. Diffusers are cheap if it does.
