Switching to LED lighting is one of the most cost-effective upgrades you can make to your Commerce home. LEDs use 75-80% less energy than incandescent bulbs and last 25-50 times longer — a quality LED bulb rated for 50,000 hours will last over 20 years at typical household use. For a home with 30 light fixtures, upgrading to LED can save $200-$400 per year on electricity, with the investment paying for itself within the first year.
Modern LEDs are nothing like the harsh, bluish lights of a decade ago. Today’s LEDs are available in every color temperature from warm candlelight (2200K) to cool daylight (5000K), with excellent color rendering that makes your home look its best. Dimmable LEDs, smart LEDs with app control, and color-changing options give you complete control over your home’s ambiance. Our electricians install compatible dimmer switches and ensure your wiring fully supports your new LED setup.
Recessed lighting (also called can lights or downlights) is one of the most popular lighting upgrades for Commerce homes because it provides clean, modern illumination without any protruding fixtures. Proper placement is key — poorly positioned recessed lights create unflattering shadows, dark spots, or a “runway” effect. The standard rule of thumb is to space recessed lights at a distance equal to half the ceiling height (e.g., 4 feet apart with 8-foot ceilings), with lights positioned 2-3 feet from walls for wash lighting.
For installation in existing Commerce homes, we use “remodel” or “old work” housings that don’t require access from above — we cut precise holes in the ceiling, fish wiring through the attic or ceiling cavity, and install IC-rated (Insulation Contact) housings that are safe to bury in attic insulation. The entire process for a typical 6-light installation takes 4-6 hours with minimal mess. We also install airtight housings where required by code to prevent conditioned air loss into the attic space.
The kitchen needs the most thoughtful lighting design: recessed ambient lighting for general illumination, under-cabinet task lighting for food prep, pendant lights over islands for both style and function, and in-cabinet accent lighting for display.
Layer recessed lights for ambient illumination, add wall sconces or floor lamps for mid-level lighting, and use accent lights to highlight artwork, bookshelves, or architectural features. Dimmer controls are essential for versatility.
A combination of overhead ambient lighting, bedside reading lights (wall-mounted or table lamps on switched outlets), and closet lighting creates a comfortable, functional bedroom. Dimmer switches are a must for gradual wake-up and wind-down.
Vanity lighting is critical — side-mounted sconces at eye level (not just an overhead bar) provide shadow-free facial illumination. Add recessed lights for general ambient lighting and consider night lights on motion sensors for safety.
Path lighting for walkways, uplighting for trees and architectural features, deck/patio lighting for entertaining, and security floodlights with motion sensors create a safe and beautiful exterior.
Before we start any Outdoor Lighting Installation work at your Commerce home, you receive a clear, written estimate that covers the full scope of work. No hidden fees, no surprise charges, no pressure to buy services you don’t need. If we discover additional issues during the work, we stop and discuss your options before proceeding — because informed customers are happy customers. Call (866) 971-2246 for your free estimate.
Only if you use LED-compatible dimmers. Standard incandescent dimmers cause LEDs to flicker, buzz, or not dim smoothly. We install CL-rated (CFL/LED) dimmers from Lutron or Leviton that are specifically designed for LED loads. If you're upgrading to LED, replacing your dimmers at the same time ensures perfect performance.
Yes. For recessed lighting in existing homes, we use "remodel" housings that install through a ceiling cutout — no attic access needed in most cases. We fish wiring through ceiling cavities and use flexible conduit where required. The process is much less invasive than most homeowners expect.
For most Commerce homes: warm white (2700K) for living rooms and bedrooms, neutral white (3000K-3500K) for kitchens and bathrooms, and daylight (4000K-5000K) for garages and task areas. We can help you test different temperatures before committing. Many smart bulbs also offer tunable color temperature.
Landscape lighting costs vary based on the scope — a basic path lighting package differs significantly from a full property uplighting and accent design. We provide free on-site estimates where we walk your Commerce property and design a lighting plan. Call (866) 971-2246 to schedule your free consultation.
The standard formula is: room square footage ÷ spacing factor. For 8-foot ceilings, space 4-inch recessed lights 4 feet apart. A typical 12×12 kitchen needs 4-6 recessed lights; a 15×20 living room needs 6-9. Our electricians design a layout specific to your room dimensions and ceiling height for optimal, shadow-free illumination.
