What & Why

Drivers, dimmers, and the right fixture for the room.

Lighting work goes wrong when an LED-only dimmer is paired with an incompatible (non-dimmable) LED driver, or a wattage-restricted retrofit can is loaded with a non-IC fixture. We verify compatibility before we order, install with the right hardware, and tune the dimmer at the wall so your lights run flicker-free.

Recessed, pendants, under-cabinet, landscape, accent — single rooms or a whole-home plan, on Lutron or Caséta when you want it smart.

What's Included

Six things, every job.

From a single pendant swap to a whole-home redesign.

Lighting Walk & Plan

Room-by-room layout, fixture counts, switching scheme, dimmer compatibility checked against your existing or planned fixtures.

Fixture & Wire Sourcing

LED drivers, dimmers, cans, pendants, low-voltage transformers — sized and on-site before tear-in. Code-compliant insulation contact (IC) and air-tight (AT) cans where required.

Wire Pull & Box Install

Switched home-runs to dimmers, new boxes cut where needed, attic and crawl-space runs done from above to keep finished ceilings intact.

Fixture Hang & Wire-In

Recessed cans clipped, pendants hung at the right drop height, LEDs landed correctly for dimmer compatibility.

Dimmer & Smart Pair

Lutron / Decora / Caséta dimmers installed and tuned to the LED load. Smart hubs paired, scenes built to your preference.

Cleanup & Walkthrough

Drop cloths down, drywall cuts patched (no finish paint), and we hand you a working remote / app before we leave.

When You Need It

Six common lighting fixes.

Dark Kitchen or Workspace

Under-cabinet LED + recessed task lighting transforms how a kitchen feels. Cheapest high-impact upgrade.

Recessed Cans That Flicker or Buzz

Old incandescent cans with cheap LED retrofits often hum on the wrong dimmer. We re-match driver to dimmer.

No Switching in the Right Place

Walk into a room and grope for a switch? We add a 3-way or smart-switch to fix it without re-running wire.

Outdoor Path or Security Lighting

Low-voltage landscape and 120V security floods — wired clean, transformers sized, sensors aimed correctly.

Builder-Grade Boob Lights Everywhere

Swap them for pendants, flush-mounts, or recessed for an immediate finish upgrade. Same boxes, better aesthetics.

Smart-Home Lighting Plan

Whole-home scenes on Caséta / RA3 / HomeKit. We do the wiring layer; you do the rules.

FAQ

Lighting questions, straight answers.

Typical recessed-light retrofit is $150 – $300 per light installed, depending on attic access and ceiling height. A full living-room ceiling of 6–8 cans usually lands in the $1,200 – $2,500 range. Brand-new circuits and dimmer add-ons stack on top.

Yes. Single pendants run $200 – $400 per location for a swap or new install over an existing junction box. Multi-pendant clusters over an island typically need additional boxes and balanced wiring — $600 – $1,500 for a typical 3-pendant island.

Yes. Linkable LED strip or hardwired puck systems, switched at the counter or wall, dimmable where the driver supports it. A typical kitchen runs $450 – $1,200 fully installed depending on cabinet length.

Yes. Lutron Caséta, Diva, RA3; Leviton Decora Smart; HomeKit-compatible switches. We wire, pair, and configure scenes. Be aware some fixtures with built-in LED drivers limit which dimmers they work with — we verify compatibility before ordering.

Yes — path lights, uplights, step lights, dusk-to-dawn floods, and motion-detect security floods. Low-voltage landscape runs are $1,200 – $3,500 for a typical front-yard scope; line-voltage soffit and security flood install is $300 – $800 per fixture.

A few new pendants is a half-day. A whole-room recessed retrofit is 1 day. A full lighting redesign across multiple rooms with new switching is typically 2–4 days.
