RECESSED LIGHTING
Transform any room with clean, modern recessed lighting. We install LED can lights in kitchens, living rooms, bathrooms, and throughout your home. Professional layout design and installation by licensed electricians.
Benefits of Can Lights
Recessed lighting offers a clean, modern look while providing excellent illumination without taking up visual space.
Clean, Modern Look
No hanging fixtures or visible bulbs. Recessed lights sit flush with the ceiling for a sleek, uncluttered appearance that works with any decor style.
Layered Lighting
Combine recessed lights with pendants, under-cabinet lighting, and accent lights for a professional layered lighting design throughout your home.
Energy Efficient
Modern LED recessed lights use 75% less energy than incandescent and last 25,000+ hours. Lower energy bills and fewer bulb replacements.

Recessed Lighting FAQs
How many recessed lights do I need?
A general rule is one light per 4-6 square feet of ceiling space for general lighting, or one every 2-3 feet for task areas like kitchens. We'll design a layout based on your room size, ceiling height, and lighting goals.
Can you install recessed lights in an existing ceiling?
Yes, we install retrofit recessed lights in existing ceilings daily. We use remodel housings that mount from below without attic access, though attic access does make installation easier and may reduce cost.
What size recessed lights should I get?
4-inch lights are most popular for residential use - they provide plenty of light with a clean, modern look. 6-inch lights work well for higher ceilings or when fewer fixtures are preferred. We'll recommend the right size for your space.
Are LED recessed lights worth it?
Absolutely. LED recessed lights use 75% less energy, last 25,000+ hours (vs 1,000 for incandescent), produce less heat, and are dimmable. The slightly higher upfront cost pays for itself quickly in energy savings.
How long does installation take?
A typical 6-light installation takes 3-4 hours. Larger projects or complex ceilings may take a full day. We complete most residential recessed lighting projects in one visit.
Will installation damage my ceiling?
We cut precise holes for each light - no larger than necessary. The trim ring covers the cut edge completely. For existing ceilings, we use dust-containment methods to keep your home clean during installation.
