Recessed Lighting
Recessed lighting helps a room feel bigger by embedding the light cans into the ceiling so that nothing hangs down and interrupts the visual space of the room.
This means you don’t have to have floor lamps for those dark corners or lights protruding from the walls or ceilings to give life to that hallway or dining room.
We install 4”, 5”, 6” standard, eyeballs, or wall-wash recessed lights wherever you want to improve your lighting designs.
Types of Recessed Lighting
Standard
These are the most common types of recessed lighting. They are designed to cast a downward, broad beam of light and are ideal for ambient lighting in various rooms.
Eyeball
Adjustable and directional, eyeball lights have a rotating inner housing that allows you to direct light precisely where it’s needed, perfect for accent lighting or highlighting artwork.
Wall-Wash
These have a shield over one side of the light to direct light towards a wall. They are used to illuminate vertical surfaces, enhance the texture of the wall, or highlight displayed items.
No Job is Too Small
It’s not always the sweeping changes that make the most difference, but often the minor adjustments and enhancements that elevate the comfort and convenience in your home.
Let us take care of your electrical needs, whether you need a whole home renovation or a single bulb replacement.

Process for Installing Recessed Lighting
We’ll Get the Lights Shining
A single installation can take as little as a half an hour, and a full renovation can take a few days depending on the amount of wiring and preparation needed.
1—Consultation
An initial consultation to understand your vision, needs, and preferences—including assessing the space for the type of lighting best suited to the room’s function and design aesthetic.
2—Preparation
Setting up the workspace to ensure safety, including turning off the power to the circuit being worked on. Then gathering all necessary tools and materials, including the lighting fixtures, wiring, switches, and personal protective equipment.
3—Cutting and Wiring
Marking and cutting out holes in the ceiling for the recessed or canned lights using a template or specific measurements. Then running electrical wiring through the ceiling to each light fixture’s location.
4—Fixture Installation
Securing the lighting fixtures into the ceiling, ensuring they are flush and stable. For LED lights, this may also involve connecting to a driver or transformer. Then wiring each fixture to the power source and ensuring connections are secure and meet electrical codes.
5—Switches and Dimmers
Installing any switches or dimmers required to control the lighting. This includes running wiring from the light fixtures to the switch location and ensuring the switch is properly connected and functional.
6—Testing and Quality Check
Turning the power back on and testing each light. This includes checking for proper illumination, dimming functionality, and that all fixtures are securely installed. A final inspection to ensure the installation meets professional standards and the your expectations.
