What Lighting Installation Services Do We Offer in Los Angeles?

"According to Amy, founder of AMY Electric and Licensed C-10 electrical contractor with 15+ years of experience: 'Upgrading to LED lighting is the single fastest return on investment of any electrical upgrade. I've seen homeowners cut their lighting energy usage by 80% and recoup the cost of retrofit kits in under two years — especially here in LA where we run AC much of the year.'"

FAQ

Lighting Installation FAQ

Do I need a permit for recessed lighting? ▾

Yes — we handle all permitting and inspections as part of every installation. We manage the entire process: permit applications with LADBS (Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety), plan review submissions, coordination with LADWP for service upgrades, scheduling inspections, and obtaining the final Certificate of Completion. The permit process typically takes 3-10 business days, depending on the scope of work. Permitting ensures code compliance and protects your insurance.

Can you add recessed lighting without cutting the ceiling open? ▾

In most cases, yes. We use low-profile remodel cans and fish wiring techniques to minimize drywall work. You'll typically see only the finished fixture holes.

Do you install smart lighting systems? ▾

Yes. We work with Lutron Caseta, Leviton Decora, and other major smart lighting brands. We handle the wiring; you control the dimming and scenes from your phone.

Can you install outdoor landscape lighting? ▾

Yes — pathway lighting, uplighting, security floods, and architectural fixtures. We run conduit underground for a clean, permanent install that won't be damaged by yard work.
