Our Recessed Lighting Installation Process
Layout Consultation
We measure the room, discuss your lighting goals, and mark can positions on the ceiling to ensure even spacing and adequate foot-candles for the space.
Circuit Assessment
We inspect your existing panel to determine if the new recessed lights can share a circuit or require a dedicated 15-amp or 20-amp breaker.
Installation and Wiring
Cans are cut in, wired back to the switch box, and secured. We use airtight housings on insulated ceilings to meet Tennessee energy code requirements.
Trim and Dimmer Finish
LED trim rings are snapped in, bulbs are seated, and dimmer switches are installed and tested for full range from 0 to 100 percent brightness.
Recessed Lighting Installation - Frequently Asked Questions
A typical 12x15 foot room benefits from six to eight four-inch or six-inch cans spaced roughly four feet apart. Rooms with darker paint or lower ceilings may need additional fixtures to reach comfortable brightness levels.
Cuts are made precisely to the can size, usually four or six inches in diameter. Our electricians use hole saws and fish tape techniques to minimize drywall disruption, and touch-up paint is typically all that is needed afterward.
Yes, though it requires more time. We use flexible fishing rods and low-profile remodel cans to route wiring through finished cavities without opening walls, a common situation in older Nashville two-story homes.
LED cans use roughly 75 percent less electricity than incandescent and last 20 to 25 years, making them cost-effective given Nashville's hot summers that drive high cooling bills. They also produce less heat, reducing strain on AC systems.
