Our Services
Interior Lighting Installation and Outdoor Lighting Services
Interior lighting installation covers a lot more than swapping a fixture. We plan circuits, size wiring correctly, and make sure every switch, dimmer, and fixture is connected to code, whether the project is a single room or a whole house.
Our residential lighting work throughout Clark County and the Portland area includes:
We can also pair a lighting project with related work like subpanel installation when new circuits need extra capacity, or hardwired smoke detector installation when we're already opening walls or ceilings for wiring.

Signs Your Home Needs LED Lighting Installation
Pacific Northwest homes deal with short winter days, near-constant overcast skies, and older wiring that wasn't built for today's fixture loads. Dim rooms, flickering switches, and dark exterior areas aren't just inconvenient. They're often signs of wiring that needs attention before a new fixture goes in.
Many older homes in neighborhoods around Fisher's Landing, Hazel Dell, and Felida still run on lighting circuits from decades ago that can't handle modern LED drivers or added recessed cans without an upgrade. Homes with dated fixtures, dark yards, or long unlit driveways, a common sight on wooded lots from Salmon Creek to Battle Ground, often benefit most from exterior lighting installation that adds visibility and security after dark.
If you're planning a remodel, adding a room, or simply tired of dark hallways and unlit walkways after sunset, it's worth having a licensed electrician look at your current wiring before you invest in new fixtures.
Our Lighting Installation Process
Our Recessed and Exterior Lighting Installation Process
Every lighting installation starts with understanding how you actually use the space, indoors and out. From there, we plan the circuits and fixtures to match.
-
Step 1: On-Site Assessment
We walk your home and yard, review your existing wiring and panel capacity, and talk through where light is needed most, indoors and outdoors.
-
Step 2: Fixture and Circuit Planning
We select fixture placement, switch locations, and dimmer or smart controls, then plan circuits (including any needed subpanel installation) to handle the added load safely.
-
Step 3: Installation
Our electricians run wiring, mount fixtures, and wire switches, whether that's can lighting installation in a ceiling, security lighting on an exterior wall, or landscape fixtures along a walkway.
-
Step 4: Testing and Code Sign-Off
We test every circuit, confirm proper grounding and GFCI protection where required, and walk you through your new lighting before we call the job complete.

Every circuit is sized correctly and protected against overload, reducing fire risk from overloaded lighting circuits or improperly wired fixtures.
