Great lighting does more than illuminate a room — it transforms how your Glendale home looks, feels, and functions. Professional lighting design uses three layers: ambient lighting (general illumination from recessed lights, chandeliers, or flush mounts), task lighting (focused light for specific activities like reading, cooking, or working), and accent lighting (decorative lighting that highlights architectural features, artwork, or landscape elements). The right combination creates depth, warmth, and visual interest that simply can’t be achieved with basic overhead fixtures alone.
At Armo Electric USA, we don’t just install lights — we help you plan a lighting scheme that enhances your home’s architecture and your daily life. We consider room dimensions, natural light sources, ceiling height, color temperature preferences, and how each space is used throughout the day. Whether you’re renovating a kitchen, adding landscape lighting, or upgrading your entire home to LED, we design lighting solutions that are both beautiful and energy-efficient.
Switching to LED lighting is one of the most cost-effective upgrades you can make to your Glendale 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.
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 Glendale 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.
For most Glendale 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.
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.
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 Glendale property and design a lighting plan. Call (866) 971-2246 to schedule your free consultation.
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.
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.

Glendale’s consistent warmth means outdoor fixtures are constantly exposed to heat, which can degrade certain materials over time. We select fixtures specifically rated for outdoor use and capable of withstanding higher temperatures and UV exposure, ensuring longevity and preventing premature failure. We also consider the heat generated by the lights themselves when planning placement.
For Glendale homes, we often recommend LED lighting for its energy efficiency and long lifespan. Options include path lighting for safety, uplighting and spotlights to highlight architectural features and trees, well lights for subtle illumination, and string lights for ambiance on patios and decks. We tailor recommendations based on your property’s specific needs and aesthetic goals.
Yes, we offer smart outdoor lighting installation. This includes systems controlled via smartphone apps, voice commands, or smart home hubs, allowing for scheduling, dimming, and scene creation. These systems enhance convenience and can further improve energy efficiency, which is a great benefit for Glendale residents.
The power consumption varies greatly depending on the number and type of fixtures. However, by utilizing energy-efficient LED technology, a comprehensive outdoor lighting system can consume remarkably little power. We design systems with energy efficiency in mind, often using lower voltage (12V) systems powered by a transformer, which are safe and cost-effective for Glendale homes.
A transformer in a low-voltage outdoor lighting system steps down the standard household voltage (120V) to a safer, lower voltage (typically 12V), making the system safer for outdoor use and easier to install. Timers (digital or astronomical) automate when the lights turn on and off, enhancing convenience and security. They can be programmed to align with Glendale’s sunset and sunrise times.
