LED Lighting Installation Tinley Park

Complete Lighting Solutions

Our lighting installation services cover residential and commercial projects throughout Tinley Park. Interior lighting for kitchens, bathrooms, living areas, and basements. Outdoor lighting for security, landscaping, and safety.

LED conversions are especially popular right now. Illinois banned fluorescent lighting technology in 2024, with CFL bans taking effect in 2026. Converting to LED now means you’re ahead of the curve and taking advantage of utility rebates while they’re still available.

We also handle the electrical side that many lighting contractors miss. Adding circuits for new fixtures. Upgrading panels to handle increased electrical loads. Installing proper switches and dimmers that work correctly with LED technology.

How much does LED lighting installation cost in Tinley Park?

LED lighting installation costs depend on the scope of your project and your existing electrical setup. Simple fixture replacements typically run less than full installations that require new wiring or circuit additions. The good news is that LED installations often pay for themselves through energy savings. Most homeowners see 50-80% reductions in lighting-related electricity costs. Illinois utility companies also offer rebates for LED conversions that can significantly offset installation costs. We provide upfront pricing after evaluating your specific situation. No hidden fees or surprise charges after the work starts.

Can you install LED lights in older Tinley Park homes?

Yes, but older homes often need electrical updates to handle LED lighting properly. Many homes built before 1990 have electrical systems that weren’t designed for modern lighting loads and control systems. The most common issues are outdated wiring, insufficient circuits, and incompatible dimmer switches. LED lights require different dimmers than incandescent bulbs, and some older electrical panels need upgrades to handle the switching characteristics of LED fixtures. We assess your electrical system first and explain exactly what updates are needed. This prevents problems like flickering lights, premature LED failure, or circuit overloads that can happen when LEDs are installed incorrectly.

Do you handle both indoor and outdoor lighting installation?

Yes, we install both interior and exterior lighting systems. Indoor projects include recessed lighting, pendant fixtures, under-cabinet lighting, and ceiling fans with lights. Outdoor work covers security lighting, landscape lighting, porch lights, and pathway illumination. Outdoor lighting installation requires different considerations than indoor work. Weather-resistant fixtures, proper electrical boxes, GFCI protection, and burial depths for underground wiring all matter for long-term reliability. We use fixtures rated for Illinois weather conditions and install everything to code. This means your outdoor lighting works reliably through Chicago-area winters and summer storms.

How long does a typical lighting installation project take?

Simple fixture replacements usually take a few hours. More complex projects involving new circuits, multiple rooms, or electrical panel upgrades can take one to several days depending on the scope. The timeline depends on factors like how many fixtures you’re installing, whether new wiring is needed, and if electrical panel work is required. We provide realistic timeframes upfront so you can plan accordingly. Emergency lighting repairs get priority scheduling. If you’re dealing with flickering lights, burning smells, or complete lighting failures, we can often respond the same day.

What's the difference between LED and fluorescent lighting?

LED lights use significantly less energy, last much longer, and provide better light quality than fluorescent fixtures. LEDs typically use 50-80% less electricity and can last 25 times longer than traditional bulbs. The light quality difference is noticeable immediately. LEDs provide consistent, flicker-free illumination without the buzzing noise that fluorescent fixtures often make. You can also get LEDs in different color temperatures to match your preferences. Illinois banned fluorescent lighting technology in 2024, with CFL bans taking effect in 2026. Converting to LED now ensures compliance with state regulations and takes advantage of utility rebates while they’re still available.

Do you offer warranties on lighting installation work?

Yes, we warranty our installation workmanship and stand behind the quality of fixtures we install. The specific warranty terms depend on the type of work and fixtures involved. LED fixtures themselves typically come with manufacturer warranties ranging from 5-10 years. Our installation work is covered separately to ensure both the products and installation meet your expectations. If you experience any issues with our lighting installation work, we address problems promptly. After 25 years in business, our reputation depends on customer satisfaction and reliable service.
