Complete Lighting Installation Service for Your Los Angeles Home

AMY Electric designs and installs lighting that fits how you live. Kitchen pendant layouts over islands, statement chandeliers with properly braced boxes, recessed lighting grids that actually light the room, and dimmers and smart switches that end LED flicker. We cut clean openings, patch-ready, fish wires through finished walls and ceilings with minimal disruption, and verify every circuit before we leave.

Los Angeles housing runs from 1920s plaster to new-construction drywall, and each needs a different approach: plaster ceilings get careful cutting and old-work boxes with the right bracing, while attic-access homes get fast retrofit-can installs. We match color temperature across fixtures so kitchens don't mix warm and cool light, and we confirm dimmer compatibility with your exact LED lamps before installation day.

Los Angeles Electrical Notes: Lighting, Plaster, and LEDs

Across Los Angeles — Spanish-style homes in Santa Monica, bungalows in Silver Lake, condos downtown — the lighting questions repeat: can this ceiling hold a 40-pound chandelier (yes, with a fan-rated brace box), will dimmers buzz with LEDs (only mismatched ones — we spec compatible pairs), and can recessed lights go into plaster without tearing it up (yes, with old-work housings and careful layout). Most rooms take half a day; whole-home lighting plans get a free written estimate under C-10 #981578. Call (818) 302-5614 and tell us the room — we will tell you the fixture count that actually works.

We permit every install through LADBS, coordinate LADWP service work where required, and commission Tesla, ChargePoint, and universal stations as EVITP-certified installers under C-10 #981578. Standard garage installs run $350 to $900 with inspection handled — call (818) 302-5614 and the estimate includes the load math, not just a price.

FAQ

Lighting Installation in Los Angeles — FAQ

What types of lighting do you install? ▾
We install pendant lights, chandeliers, recessed (can) lighting, track lighting, under-cabinet and closet lighting, ceiling fans with lights, landscape lighting circuits, dimmers, and smart switches from Lutron, Leviton, and other major brands — in homes and commercial spaces across Los Angeles.
Can you hang a heavy chandelier from my ceiling? ▾
Yes, provided the box is rated for the weight. Standard nail-on boxes are not enough for heavy fixtures: we install fan-rated brace boxes that span between joists and are rated for 70+ pounds, plus proper support for chandeliers over stairwells and two-story entries. We verify structure before hanging anything heavy.
Why do my LED lights flicker or buzz with the dimmer? ▾
Flicker and buzz almost always mean the dimmer and the LED lamps are incompatible — older leading-edge dimmers chop power in ways LED drivers dislike. We replace the dimmer with an LED-rated model matched to your exact lamps and test every level from 100 percent down to minimum before we leave.
Can recessed lighting be added to plaster ceilings? ▾
Yes. We lay out the grid to avoid joists, cut clean holes with hole saws and plaster blades, and set old-work (remodel) housings that clamp to the finished ceiling — no large drywall removal. Insulation-contact (IC) rated housings go wherever insulation is present, per code.
Are you licensed for lighting work in Los Angeles? ▾
Yes — AMY Electric holds California C-10 license #981578, verifiable at cslb.ca.gov, and carries general liability plus workers compensation insurance. Lighting circuits, new boxes, and dimmer/switch work are all performed to California Electrical Code and backed by our workmanship warranty.
How long does a lighting installation take? ▾
A single fixture swap takes about an hour. A kitchen pendant layout or a chandelier with new bracing typically takes half a day. Full-room recessed grids (6 to 10 cans) usually complete in one day, including dimmer setup and cleanup. Whole-home projects are scheduled in phases around your routine.
Do I need a permit to add lighting in Los Angeles? ▾
Simple fixture-for-fixture replacements generally do not. New circuits, new recessed layouts, and panel work do require LADBS permits, which we handle including scheduling the inspection. We tell you upfront, in writing, whether your project needs one — no surprises.
