Question 1

How much does it cost to install lighting?

Accepted Answer

Lighting installation costs vary by fixture type and complexity. Simple fixture replacement runs $100-$200 per fixture. New fixture installation with wiring $150-$400. Recessed lighting $150-$300 per light. Chandeliers and complex fixtures $300-$800. Outdoor lighting systems $500-$3,000+. We provide detailed quotes after assessing your project.

Question 2

Can you install recessed lighting?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we specialize in recessed (can) lighting installation for both new construction and existing ceilings. We handle layout planning, wiring, cutting ceiling openings, installing IC-rated or airtight housings, and finishing. LED recessed lights are energy-efficient and perfect for kitchens, living rooms, and hallways.

Question 3

Do you install outdoor lighting?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we install all types of outdoor lighting including landscape lighting, security lights, motion sensor lights, porch and patio lighting, driveway lighting, and decorative garden lights. All outdoor installations use weatherproof fixtures and GFCI protection to meet Washington electrical code.

Question 4

Can you install smart lighting?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we install smart lighting systems including smart switches, dimmers, bulbs, and whole-home lighting control systems. We can integrate with Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, and dedicated systems like Lutron. Smart lighting offers remote control, scheduling, and energy savings.

Question 5

How many recessed lights do I need?

Accepted Answer

General rule: one recessed light per 25-30 square feet for ambient lighting, spacing 4-6 feet apart. Kitchens need more (one per 4-6 sq ft over work areas). We design layouts based on room size, ceiling height, natural light, and your lighting preferences to ensure even, adequate illumination.

Question 6

Can you install a chandelier?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we install chandeliers of all sizes and styles. This includes ensuring proper support (may need reinforced junction box for heavy fixtures), correct wiring, dimmer installation if desired, and safe, level hanging. We handle everything from simple dining room chandeliers to elaborate multi-story foyer installations.

Question 7

Do you install under cabinet lighting?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we install hardwired under cabinet lighting for kitchens. LED strip lights or puck lights provide task lighting for countertops. We can wire to existing circuits or install dedicated switches and dimmers. Under cabinet lighting improves functionality and adds ambiance to kitchens.

Question 8

What's the difference between LED and traditional lighting?

Accepted Answer

LED lights use 75% less energy, last 25x longer (25,000-50,000 hours vs 1,000), produce less heat, and offer better quality light than incandescent bulbs. While LEDs cost more initially, they save significantly on energy bills and replacement costs. We recommend LED for all new installations.

Question 9

Can you add dimmer switches?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we install dimmer switches for all compatible lighting. This includes standard dimmers, smart dimmers with app control, and specialty dimmers for LED/CFL bulbs. Dimmers save energy, extend bulb life, and allow custom lighting levels. We ensure proper dimmer selection for your specific bulbs and fixtures.

Question 10

Do lighting installations require permits?

Accepted Answer

Most lighting installations don't require permits if using existing circuits and boxes. New circuits, moving junction boxes, or adding multiple lights may require electrical permits in Washington. We determine permit requirements and handle any necessary inspections to ensure code compliance.
