Lighting
Lighting upgrades that fit the house you have
Recessed lights in a living room, better exterior lighting for a dark driveway, and dimmers that stop buzzing are ordinary electrical work. We pull wire the right way, respect box fill, and use wet-rated fixtures outdoors where Treasure Coast weather demands it.
What we’d tell you first
Plain notes, the way a tech would say them on the phone. Then call or book if you want someone at the house.
- 1
Box fill is real
Cramming a dimmer and extra wires into a tiny box is how connections fail. We use the right volume or add a box.

Exterior needs a weather seal
Driveway and porch lights take rain and wind. Wet-rated fixtures and sealed entries last longer here.

Dimming when the AC starts
That can be a shared circuit or a loose connection. We troubleshoot the cause instead of only swapping bulbs.
Indoor and outdoor
Interior swaps are usually straightforward when the box and circuit are sound. Adding cans in a finished ceiling is a different scope — access, insulation, and airtight housings matter in a humid climate.
Exterior wall packs, porch lights, and landscape feeds need weatherproofing. Storm season is unkind to cheap open fixtures and loose weather seals.
When lighting reveals a bigger issue
Lights that dim when the AC starts, or a room that goes dark with one switch, can point to a shared circuit or a loose neutral. We troubleshoot that instead of hanging a prettier fixture on a bad circuit.
Questions we’d answer on the phone
The short version before anyone is standing in the yard.
Can you convert fluorescent cans to LED?
Often yes. We confirm the housing type and whether a retrofit kit or a new can is the safer path.
