Light Lift Installation in Indian Head, Maryland

What Is A Light Lift?

Light lifts, or motorized hoists, are essentially a winch system designed to allow your chandelier or light fixture to ascend and descend at the touch of a button. The system has been used since the early theater days, used to display dramatic lighting, and in recent years has seen a huge spike in in-home use. Light lifts are a great solution for either currently installed chandeliers, or are a great way (and excuse!) to get an entirely new fixture in Indian Head.

You may worry that a winch system solely used to zip your lighting up and down might be unsightly, but don’t worry! Light lifts are practically invisible once installed, the machinery often hidden in your ceiling or attic, and the control buttons can be installed in an out of the way closet or hall. This leaves you with a flawless system designed to dramatically simplify chandelier maintenance without a mess of wires and unsightly metal in the way.

Are Light Lifts Dangerous?

We’re often asked if these systems are dangerous, but don’t worry. They’re not! These systems are designed to cut power to your chandelier as soon as the winch is put into motion, ensuring no chance whatsoever of danger from electrical issues or wiring. Also, the materials used in making a light lift are top notch, ensuring a hardy machine that is built to last.

Why Would I Want a Light Lift in Indian Head?

Gorgeous as they may be, the trouble with chandeliers and light fixtures are that they collect dust extremely quickly. That may not be an issue for your lamps and furniture, but those aren’t fifteen or more feet off the floor! Beyond cleaning, there’s bulb replacement or removal to consider, another task that can leave you scratching your head or putting yourself in harm’s way to fix. Ordinarily, cleaning or bulb replacement requires either a thick wallet, or a very tall ladder. Neither of which a homeowner wants to deal with on a regular basis. This is where light lifts come in.

With a one-time, simple installation you’ll never have to be concerned with handling these issues the hard way again. This way, you can save loads of money and hours’ worth of headache inducing frustration.
