Light fixture installation is one of those jobs that looks simple but goes sideways fast — old aluminum wiring, ungrounded boxes, junction boxes not rated for fixture weight, dimmer compatibility issues. We install fixtures across California every day. New install or replacement, residential or light commercial, code-compliant every time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does light fixture installation cost?
Simple fixture replacement: $99-$149. Pendant or single chandelier: $129-$199. Heavy chandeliers requiring junction box upgrade: $229-$399. Recessed cans: $79-$149 each for LED retrofit, $179-$299 for new installs.
Do you upgrade the junction box?
Always, when needed. Heavy fixtures over 30 lb (most chandeliers) require a 'heavy-fixture-rated' junction box. Older homes often have lighting-only boxes that won't hold the weight. Upgrade is included in chandelier pricing.
Recessed lights without existing wiring?
Yes — we install new recessed cans in finished ceilings. Requires drywall fishing, junction box install, and circuit homerun if needed. $179-$299 per can for new installs in finished ceilings.
Dimmer compatibility?
Yes — we always test dimmer compatibility with the fixture's bulbs. LED dimmers are different from incandescent; smart bulbs typically need a non-dimmer switch or specific dimmer. We get this right.
Outdoor and porch lights?
Yes — full outdoor fixture install including landscape lighting, porch lights, motion-sensor security lights, and outdoor smart lighting. GFCI protection required and included where code mandates.
Smart bulb / smart switch setup?
Yes — install Lutron Caséta, Leviton Decora, Philips Hue, LIFX, TP-Link Kasa, smart dimmers and smart switches. App pairing and routine setup included.
Are you licensed?
Licensed handyman service with licensed electricians for any work requiring an EC license. All work is code-compliant and we provide receipts for permit purposes if required.
