Residential Lighting Installation Process

How Your Lighting Installation Actually Works

First, we assess your current lighting situation and electrical capacity. Not every home can handle a full lighting upgrade without electrical modifications, and we’ll tell you upfront what you’re working with.

Next, we plan your lighting layout based on how you actually use each room. Kitchen task lighting is different from bedroom ambient lighting. We match the right LED fixtures to the right spaces.

Installation happens room by room, so you’re never left completely in the dark. We test each circuit as we go, clean up our work area, and make sure every switch and dimmer works exactly as expected before moving to the next area.
