What We Install

Lighting Services in Denver

01 — Most Requested

Recessed Lighting Installation

LED recessed lights for kitchens, living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms. We plan your layout, cut ceiling openings, run wiring, connect to your panel, and install LED-compatible dimmers. IC-rated fixtures used throughout — required wherever ceiling insulation is present. Attic-access and remodel-can installations both available.

02 — Quick Upgrade

Dimmer Switch Installation

Smart and standard dimmer switches installed and verified for LED compatibility. Many LED fixtures flicker or buzz when paired with the wrong dimmer. We check compatibility before anything goes in the wall. Single-pole and 3-way dimmer installations. Same-day available across Denver metro.

03 — Statement Piece

Pendant & Chandelier Installation

Heavy fixtures require a ceiling box rated for the load. Most existing boxes are not. We install fan-rated or fixture-rated ceiling boxes, run wiring where needed, and hang and connect your fixture safely. Islands, dining rooms, entryways, and stairwells throughout Denver metro.

04 — Comfort & Function

Ceiling Fan with Light

Ceiling fans require a fan-rated ceiling box designed to support both static weight and dynamic movement. A standard outlet box will fail over time. We replace non-rated boxes, run new wiring where needed, and install and balance the fan. Single-switch and dual-switch wiring available.

05 — Kitchen Upgrade

Under-Cabinet Lighting

Hardwired LED under-cabinet lighting for kitchens, bars, and workspaces. Hardwired installations have no visible cords, work with in-wall dimmers, and add more resale value than plug-in alternatives. Concealed wiring run through cabinet interiors wherever possible.

06 — Curb Appeal

Outdoor & Exterior Lighting

Porch lights, garage sconces, soffit lighting, floodlights, and motion-sensor security lighting. All outdoor fixtures must be wet- or damp-rated for Colorado weather. All outdoor circuits require GFCI protection. We handle the permit and install to current code.

07 — Landscaping

Landscape & Pathway Lighting

Low-voltage LED landscape lighting, pathway lights, uplighting, and deck lighting. We design placement, trench and bury conduit where required, and connect to a dedicated outdoor circuit or transformer. Popular across Highlands Ranch, Parker, and Castle Rock properties.

08 — Same-Day

Lighting Repair & Replacement

Flickering lights, dead fixtures, buzzing dimmers, warm switch plates, and circuits that stopped working. We diagnose and repair same-day. FLIR thermal imaging identifies hidden wiring faults invisible to the eye before any repair begins. Call 24/7 for lighting emergencies.

“Lighting is not a finish. It is the first thing every visitor notices and the last thing most homeowners budget for correctly.”

Every lighting job we do in Denver involves more than swapping a fixture. Ceiling box ratings, dimmer compatibility, IC-rated housing requirements, permit obligations, and circuit load — these details are what separate a licensed electrical installation from a handyman visit. The Electricians handles all of it, on every job, to current NEC code.

Residential Lighting Installation in Denver, CO

Lighting shapes how a home feels. The difference between a kitchen with flat overhead fluorescents and one with well-placed recessed LED lighting and under-cabinet task lighting is immediate — and it changes how the space is used every day. The Electricians installs residential lighting of all types across Denver, Centennial, Aurora, Highlands Ranch, Lakewood, Littleton, Parker, and surrounding communities.

Denver homes built before 1985 frequently have rooms with no ceiling outlet box, minimal lighting circuits, and wiring that predates modern LED compatibility. Adding recessed lighting, ceiling fans, or hardwired under-cabinet lighting to these homes requires running new wiring — which means permits, proper box sizing, and code-compliant circuit work. The Electricians handles all of this as part of every project.

What Denver Homeowners Ask About Recessed Lighting

The two questions that determine recessed lighting cost most are: does your ceiling have attic access, and does a new circuit need to be run? Homes with accessible attics are the easiest retrofit — wiring runs through the attic without touching drywall. Finished ceilings over a second floor or concrete slab require remodel cans and more labor to fish wire.

The Electricians installs IC-rated LED recessed fixtures throughout Denver metro. IC-rated is required wherever ceiling insulation may contact the housing — which includes virtually every home with an attic. We plan fixture placement for your room size, verify dimmer compatibility, and handle all permits. Most rooms are completed in a single visit.

Common Questions

Lighting Installation FAQ — Denver

How much does recessed lighting cost in Denver?+
Recessed lighting in Denver runs $200 to $500 per fixture installed, including materials and labor. A standard 6-light room package typically costs $1,200 to $3,000 or more, depending on ceiling type, access, and whether a new circuit is needed. Attic access reduces cost significantly. The Electricians provides flat-rate written pricing at your free in-person estimate. CO Lic. #EC.0101962.
Why do my LED lights flicker with a dimmer?+
LED fixtures are not universally compatible with all dimmer switches. Most older dimmers were designed for incandescent loads, which behave very differently from LED drivers. When an incompatible dimmer is paired with an LED fixture, the result is flickering, buzzing, or inconsistent dimming. We verify compatibility before every dimmer installation and replace non-compatible switches with LED-rated dimmers — a step most handymen skip entirely.
Can I install a ceiling fan where there is no ceiling box?+
No. Ceiling fans require a fan-rated ceiling box designed to support both the static weight and the dynamic movement of the fan. A standard outlet box will fail over time. If your room has no ceiling box, we install a fan-rated brace kit accessible from below in most finished ceilings, and run new wiring from the nearest circuit. We verify circuit capacity before installation begins.
Do I need a permit for recessed lighting?+
It depends on the scope. Replacing an existing fixture in an existing box typically does not require a permit. Adding new recessed lighting that requires new wiring, a new circuit, or a new ceiling box usually does require a permit in Denver and most surrounding jurisdictions. The Electricians assesses permit requirements at your estimate visit and handles all paperwork and scheduling on jobs that require them.
How many recessed lights do I need per room?+
A common rule is one fixture per 25 square feet for general illumination. A 12×12 bedroom typically needs 4 to 6 fixtures. A 16×20 living room typically needs 8 to 12. Spacing of 4 to 6 feet between fixtures gives even coverage. Higher ceilings and darker paint may require more. Your electrician reviews room dimensions at the estimate visit and recommends a specific layout before quoting.
What is an IC-rated recessed fixture?+
IC stands for Insulation Contact. IC-rated fixtures are designed to safely make contact with ceiling insulation without creating a fire hazard. Non-IC fixtures must maintain clearance from insulation. Most Denver homes with attics require IC-rated recessed fixtures by code. Installing non-IC fixtures in an insulated ceiling is a code violation. The Electricians installs IC-rated LED fixtures by default on all Denver jobs where insulation may be present.
Can I add recessed lighting to a room with no ceiling wiring?+
Yes, but it requires new wiring. Many Denver homes built before 1980 have rooms with no ceiling outlet box — particularly bedrooms and living rooms that relied on switched floor outlets. Adding recessed lighting requires running new wire from the panel or an existing circuit, installing a ceiling box, and often a new dedicated circuit. This work requires a permit. We handle the full scope from panel assessment through inspection.
What outdoor lighting fixtures are code-compliant in Denver?+
All outdoor fixtures must be rated for wet or damp locations depending on exposure. Fixtures directly exposed to rain require wet-rated fixtures. Fixtures under a covered porch or soffit require at minimum damp-rated. All outdoor circuits require GFCI protection. Installing indoor-rated fixtures outdoors is a code violation and voids manufacturer warranties. We select and install code-appropriate fixtures for every outdoor job.
Is hardwired under-cabinet lighting worth it?+
For most Denver homeowners planning to stay in the home long-term, yes. Hardwired installations have no visible cords, work with in-wall dimmers, cannot be accidentally unplugged, and add more resale value than plug-in systems. The cost difference is real — hardwired runs $350 to $900 vs $50 to $200 for plug-in — but hardwired is what home buyers and inspectors recognize as a finished upgrade.
How long does recessed lighting installation take?+
A single fixture in a finished ceiling takes 1 to 3 hours depending on access and wiring distance. A standard 6-light room with attic access typically completes in 4 to 6 hours in one visit. The same project in a finished ceiling with no attic access takes longer due to wire fishing. Multi-room projects may span two visits. Your electrician gives a realistic timeline at the estimate visit before scheduling installation day.
