Indoor Lighting Installation

Recessed Lighting (Can Lights)

Recessed lights give a clean, modern look. They work great in kitchens, living rooms, and hallways. We install the right number of lights spaced correctly. Too few lights and the room stays dark. Too many and you waste electricity. We get it right.

Chandeliers and Hanging Lights

Chandeliers are heavy. They need proper support. We make sure your ceiling can hold the weight. We wire it correctly. We hang it level. Big chandeliers need special electrical boxes. We install those too if needed.

Kitchen Lighting

Good kitchen lighting makes cooking easier. Recessed lights give overall brightness. Under-cabinet lights help you see the countertop. Pendant lights over an island look great and provide task lighting. We design kitchen lighting that works.

Bathroom Lighting

Bathrooms need good lighting above mirrors. Vanity lights should be at the right height. We also install shower lights and exhaust fan lights. All bathroom lights near water need GFCI protection. We handle that correctly.

Living Room and Bedroom Lighting

Ceiling lights, wall sconces, and ceiling fans with lights. We install dimmer switches so you can adjust brightness. This creates the right mood for relaxing or watching TV.

Outdoor Lighting Installation

Security Lighting

Motion sensor lights keep your home safe. When someone approaches, the lights turn on. This scares away unwanted visitors. We install lights at entry doors, garages, and driveways. The sensors work reliably in all weather.

Landscape and Path Lights

Low-voltage landscape lights make your yard beautiful at night. Path lights guide visitors safely to your door. Spotlights show off trees and landscaping. We run the wiring underground so you don't see it.

Porch and Patio Lights

Outdoor living spaces need good lighting. We install ceiling lights on covered porches. String lights create ambiance on patios. All outdoor fixtures must be rated for weather. We use the right materials.

Barn and Shop Exterior Lights

Rural properties need lights on outbuildings. Barns, shops, and garages need bright exterior lighting. We install weatherproof fixtures that work in Colorado winters.

Dusk-to-Dawn Lights

These lights turn on automatically when it gets dark. They turn off at sunrise. Great for security and convenience. You never forget to turn them on or off.

LED Lighting Upgrades

Why Switch to LED

LED lights use 75% less electricity than old bulbs. They last 15 to 25 years. You save money on electric bills. You replace bulbs less often. LED lights also produce less heat, which helps in summer.

LED Recessed Light Retrofits

Have old can lights? We can upgrade them to LED without replacing the whole fixture. New LED inserts drop right in. They use less power and give better light. Much cheaper than replacing everything.

LED Shop and Garage Lights

Old fluorescent shop lights flicker and take forever to warm up. LED shop lights turn on instantly. They give bright, white light that makes working easier. They work fine in cold garages too.

Outdoor LED Upgrades

LED outdoor lights use less power and last longer. Important for lights that run all night. Motion sensor lights with LED save even more. The sensors use almost no electricity.

Common Lighting Problems We Fix

Lights Keep Flickering

Flickering lights mean loose connections or bad switches. Sometimes it's a failing fixture. We find the cause and fix it. Your lights should work smoothly.

Dimmer Switch Not Working

Old dimmer switches don't work with LED bulbs. You need LED-compatible dimmers. We replace old dimmers with new ones that work correctly.

Light Fixture Won't Stay Up

Heavy fixtures need proper support. Your ceiling box might not be strong enough. We install proper boxes that hold weight safely. No more sagging lights.

Outdoor Lights Keep Burning Out

Water gets into outdoor fixtures. This causes bulbs to fail quickly. We install weatherproof fixtures with proper seals. Your outdoor lights last much longer.

Not Enough Light in Room

One ceiling light often isn't enough. We add recessed lights or additional fixtures. The room becomes bright and usable. Big difference in how the space feels.

Lighting Design Help

How Many Lights Do You Need

We help you figure out the right number of lights. This depends on room size and what you do there. Kitchens need more light than bedrooms. We calculate what works best.

Choosing the Right Light Color

LED lights come in different colors. Warm white feels cozy. Bright white is better for kitchens and garages. We help you pick the right color for each room.

Where to Place Lights

Light placement matters. Lights over work areas need to be in the right spot. We position lights so they actually light up what you're doing. No dark corners or shadows where you don't want them.

Dimmer Switches

Dimmers give you control. Bright for cooking. Dim for dinner. We install dimmers where they make sense. Not every light needs a dimmer, but some definitely should have one.

Why Professional Installation Matters

Safety First

Electrical work can be dangerous. Lights connect to live wires. One mistake can cause fires or shocks. We're licensed electricians. We do it safely every time.

Proper Support

Heavy fixtures need proper ceiling boxes. Regular boxes can't hold chandeliers. They can fall and hurt someone. We install fan-rated or heavy-duty boxes when needed.

Code Compliance

Outdoor lights need GFCI protection. Bathroom lights have special requirements. We know all the codes. Your lighting passes inspection.

Works the First Time

DIY lighting often has problems. Flickering lights. Buzzing dimmers. Loose fixtures. We install it right so it works correctly from day one.

Warranty Protection

Most light fixtures have warranties. Some warranties require professional installation. DIY installation might void your warranty. Professional installation protects your investment.
