What Is Lighting Installation?
Lighting installation includes mounting new fixtures, running necessary wiring, connecting switches and dimmers, and testing every circuit. This applies to new construction, renovations, or simply replacing outdated fixtures with modern LED options.
We also handle fixture assembly, proper box support, and code-required clearances. Whether you need bright task lighting in a kitchen or warm ambient light in a living room, we match the right fixture type to each space.
Types of Lighting We Install
- Recessed lighting (can lights) for ceilings
- Pendant lights and chandeliers
- Under-cabinet kitchen lighting
- Landscape and pathway lighting
- Security floodlights and motion sensor lights
Why Clients Prefer NEAR Electric for Lighting Installation
Installing lights seems simple, but mistakes cause flickering, loose fixtures, or even fire hazards. We mount every fixture to properly rated junction boxes, use correct wire connectors, and never overload circuits.
Customers also love that we help with placement planning — catching issues like blocking joists, missing box supports, or wrong dimmer compatibility before we drill. Less guesswork means cleaner results and no damaged ceilings.
Why Choose Us for Your Lighting Installation
