Lighting Installation in Houston, TX

Good lighting transforms a home — it changes how rooms feel, how your property looks from the street, and how safe your home is after dark. Emergency Electrician Houston provides professional lighting installation for Houston homeowners, from recessed lighting and LED upgrades to outdoor landscape and security lighting.

Our Lighting Services

Recessed lighting installation — Can lights are the most requested lighting upgrade in Houston homes. We install new-construction and remodel-style recessed lights in existing ceilings with minimal drywall disruption. We handle layout planning, circuit wiring, dimmer installation, and IC-rated housings for insulated ceilings.

LED lighting upgrades — Replacing outdated incandescent or fluorescent fixtures with LED saves energy, produces better light quality, and reduces heat output — a real benefit during Houston summers. We upgrade fixtures, retrofit existing can lights with LED modules, and install LED-compatible dimmers.

Outdoor and landscape lighting — Well-designed outdoor lighting enhances curb appeal, extends your living space, and improves home security. We install path lights, uplighting for trees and architecture, deck and patio lighting, and low-voltage landscape systems.

Security and motion-activated lighting — Properly placed exterior lights deter intruders and make your property safer at night. We install motion-sensor flood lights, dusk-to-dawn fixtures, and integrated security lighting systems.

Under-cabinet and accent lighting — Kitchen under-cabinet lighting, display lighting, and accent strip lighting for built-ins and architectural features.

Ceiling fan installation — We install and wire ceiling fans with integrated lighting, including new junction box installation where needed. Ceiling fans are essential in Houston for air circulation and energy savings.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many recessed lights do I need in a room? A common guideline is one recessed light for every 4–6 square feet of ceiling area for general illumination. A 12×14 foot living room typically uses 6–8 lights. We plan layouts based on your ceiling height, light output preferences, and room function.

Can you install recessed lights without tearing up my ceiling? Yes. We use remodel-style housings that fit through a small hole cut in the drywall. There’s no need to access the space from above in most cases. The result is a clean installation with minimal patching.

Should I choose 3000K or 4000K LED lights? For most Houston homes, 3000K (warm white) creates a comfortable, inviting atmosphere in living rooms, bedrooms, and dining areas. 4000K (neutral white) works well in kitchens, bathrooms, and workspaces where brighter, clearer light is preferred.
