Plug-in lights for a rented utility room
Wiring: none — every one plugs in or runs on a battery. Fixing: each needs a fixing (a wall or ceiling point). 3 plug-in lights for a utility room: median price £576, from £395 to £591.
Plug-in and rechargeable lights don’t touch the building, so there is nothing to ask your landlord.
Changing a fixed light is usually fine in a private tenancy, but there’s no single national rule — check your tenancy agreement.
Changing a fixed light needs your landlord’s written consent — though they can’t unreasonably refuse.

Why no ceiling pendants here
A ceiling pendant connects to a ceiling point and screws to the ceiling. As a renter, that needs an electrician and possibly your landlord’s consent. If you already have a ceiling point and permission, see pendants by ceiling height.
