Light Fixture Installation Services

A licensed electrician ensures proper installation, code compliance, and safe handling of materials like fluorescent lamps, which helps avoid violations and protects your home and family.

We recommend that customers purchase their own light fixtures and bulbs to ensure the style and design perfectly match their taste. If you need guidance on selecting the right fixtures or bulbs, our electrician is happy to offer advice during the installation process.

Typically, most standard plastic electrical boxes are designed to support light fixtures weighing up to about 15 pounds. However, heavier fixtures—such as large chandeliers—require more robust support. For these, we recommend installing a fan-rated or heavy-duty electrical box, which is specifically designed to safely support fixtures weighing up to 50 pounds or more. Our electrician can assess your current setup and upgrade the electrical box if needed to ensure safe and secure installation of your new heavy light fixture.

Blinking LED lights typically indicate that the lamp itself may be failing. However, this issue can also arise if non-dimmable LED bulbs are used with a dimmer switch, or if dimmable LED bulbs are paired with an older dimmer switch not rated for LED use. To resolve the problem, ensure both your LED bulbs and dimmer switch are compatible and specifically rated for LED lighting.

Buzzing LED lights are often caused by incompatible dimmer switches or loose wiring. Upgrading to LED-rated dimmers or tightening electrical connections usually stops the noise.

This can be caused by poor wiring connections, incompatible dimmers, or defective bulbs. Our licensed electrician can inspect your system and recommend solutions to ensure reliable LED performance.

IA GU24 bulb has a two-pin twist-and-lock base, commonly used in compact fluorescent fixtures to meet energy efficiency codes. If you’d like to switch to a standard A19 LED bulb, GU24-to-E26 adapters are available. These adapters allow you to use a standard screw-in bulb (E26 base) in a fixture designed for GU24. However, the adapter adds extra length to the bulb assembly, which may make it incompatible with some enclosed or space-limited light fixtures. Our electrician can help you determine whether an adapter will work safely or recommend a full fixture replacement for better LED compatibility.

Yes, there are LED lamps designed as direct replacements for traditional fluorescent tubes. These plug-and-play options work with many existing ballasts. However, if the fluorescent ballast is failing or incompatible, you may need to bypass the ballast and install a ballast-bypass LED lamp instead. This type of LED is not a direct replacement and requires minor rewiring. Our licensed electrician can help determine the right solution for your fixture and ensure a safe, code-compliant installation.

When selecting a new outdoor light fixture, consider the following:

• Mounting style: Confirm whether your existing setup supports wall-mounted or ceiling-mounted fixtures.

• Fixture size: Make sure the new fixture is large enough to cover the area around the electrical box and any old mounting marks.

• Sealing and surface condition: Most exterior lights are sealed with silicone to protect against moisture. Removing the old fixture may damage paint or stucco. Choose a new fixture with a mounting base large enough to cover any visible stucco or paint damage.

• Weather rating: Use fixtures rated for wet or damp locations based on the installation area.

• Bulb type and compatibility: Check if the fixture uses integrated LED, standard bulbs, or specific base types like GU24 or E26.

• Light output and color temperature: Select the appropriate brightness and color tone (warm or cool) for your needs.

• Fixture weight and support: For heavier fixtures, ensure your existing electrical box is rated to handle the weight, or plan to upgrade it.

• Style and finish: Choose a design that fits your home’s exterior style and personal preference.
