What clients expect and what professionals need to know
Lighting installation connects new or replacement fixtures to existing wiring, installs dimmer switches compatible with the fixture's driver (LED dimmers must be listed for LED loads to prevent buzzing and flicker), and adds recessed can lights by cutting openings in the ceiling and fishing wire to a switch loop. Recessed lighting layout follows the "divide ceiling height by 2" rule for spacing: 8-foot ceilings = 4-foot fixture spacing. All recessed cans in insulated ceilings must be IC-rated.

Common questions from clients looking for Lighting Installation services
Standard incandescent dimmers don't work properly with LED loads — replace with a trailing-edge LED dimmer listed for the specific LED load; also ensure the minimum load is met (some dimmers require 25W minimum).
IC (insulation contact) rated fixtures can be in direct contact with attic insulation without creating a fire hazard — all recessed lights in insulated ceilings must be IC-rated.
The rule of thumb is spacing equal to half the ceiling height; an 8-foot ceiling = 4-foot spacing. A 12x16 room with 8-foot ceilings needs approximately 6–8 recessed lights for even illumination.
Yes — a licensed electrician runs wire from an existing circuit in the attic or walls, installs a new box, and adds a switch leg. Cost depends on distance from the source circuit.
Recessed downlights focus light on work surfaces and tasks; ambient lighting (indirect, sconces, pendants) bounces light off walls and ceilings for softer overall illumination. Layer both for a flexible, well-designed space.
