Outdoor Lighting Fixtures
Outdoor wall lights, garage lights, patio lights, or pathway lighting can add plenty of curb appeal to your home. This lighting helps create a welcoming space in your front or back yard, as well as increase your security by protecting your home.
Whether you opt for motion-sensing lighting that only turns on when people are nearby, or install timers or smart switches so your lighting turns on and off when you want it to, outdoor lighting is a great way to keep your exterior bright and secure.
Pot Light Installation or Upgrade
Pot lights (or recessed lighting) are a popular choice for areas that need tons of brightness, but don’t have a huge amount of ceiling height or space. Pot lights help open up a room by providing control over the brightness of a room, but installing them is more complicated than replacing a single light fixture. This type of lighting installation requires more lights, so will likely require new wiring or a new circuit, as well as some indoor renovation for the ceiling.
Be sure to get an experienced electrician in to assess your current light installations. They’ll be able to determine if recessed lighting is able to be installed with your current electrical system, and provide a complete and careful installation of a recessed lighting system.
Smart Home Lighting System
Have you ever been snuggled up, ready to drift off to sleep, and realized that you left the porch light on? If you had smart light fixtures, instead of getting out of your warm bed to turn off the light, you could do it right from your phone!
Smart home lighting installation can seem overwhelming at first—with so many options, components, and packages, it can be hard to narrow down exactly what your family needs. At Sun Electrical, our Home Automation System Installation experts will help you make an informed decision, and we’ll provide you with a full price quote for your approval.
Do I Need an Electrician to Install or Replace Light Fixtures?
Many believe installing a light fixture is an easy process, and there’s plenty of information available on the internet if you’ve got less experience in the area.
However, you have to keep in mind that replacing a light fixture is not always a simple switch—you have to ensure that your current wiring and electrical system are able to handle the new lighting. Otherwise, you might end up overloading the circuitry.
That’s why we recommend you should hire an electrician to install or replace your light fixtures.
You must ensure that your circuit has enough amperage to power your new fixture, so be sure to check the wattage before purchasing and installing it. Keeping the power use within the proper amount will protect your electrical system, as frequent breaker trips could lead to overheating and possible electrical fires.
You should always turn off the breaker before doing any electrical work, but that alone doesn’t mean you’re safe from any harm. Some wiring systems remain connected to other electrical junctions, which may still be on.
You could also end up connecting the wrong wire, which may end up causing a house fire. Faulty wiring is a huge risk that isn’t worth the damage it will cause if you try to DIY an electrical project.
Your new light fixtures might not be compatible with the existing system. The screws might be the wrong size or shape, or the mounting bracket might not fit properly. If the light fixture is heavy, you also run the risk of injuring yourself while simultaneously holding it up and trying to install it.
