Indoor lighting sets the tone for how you use every space — task lighting in kitchens, ambient lighting in living rooms, accent lighting in hallways, and functional lighting in garages and basements. But lighting is also one of the most common sources of electrical service calls: flickering fixtures, buzzing dimmers, recessed lights that shut off from thermal overload, and fixtures that stopped working despite a good bulb.
We handle both the creative side (helping you choose the right fixtures and layout for each room) and the electrical side (ensuring proper junction boxes, circuit capacity, dimmer compatibility, and safe installation).
Every indoor lighting installation includes proper junction box rating, secure mounting, circuit verification, and testing.
Outdoor lighting serves three purposes at once: it makes your home look better at night, it deters intruders, and it keeps walkways, steps, and driveways safe after dark. In Monmouth County, outdoor lighting also faces specific challenges — salt air corrosion near the coast, moisture infiltration, and exposure to nor’easters and storm damage.
We install and repair all types of residential outdoor lighting, and we ensure every outdoor fixture, junction box, and connection is rated for wet or damp locations per NEC requirements. Outdoor outlets and connections are protected with GFCI devices as required by code.
Coastal Monmouth County homes — especially near the Navesink River, Shrewsbury River, and the oceanfront communities in Sea Bright, Monmouth Beach, and Long Branch — experience accelerated corrosion on outdoor electrical components. We install marine-grade and corrosion-resistant fixtures and housings where salt air exposure is a factor.
Whether it’s a single fixture swap or a whole-home lighting redesign, we provide upfront pricing and professional installation. Most single-fixture installations are completed in under two hours. Larger projects — recessed lighting layouts, landscape lighting systems, whole-room rewiring — are scoped on-site with a written quote before we begin.

Single fixture replacement (existing wiring): $150–$350 Remove old fixture, install new fixture, test. Cost varies by fixture type, location (standard ceiling vs. high/vaulted), and weight (heavy fixtures requiring box upgrades cost more).
Recessed lighting installation: $200–$400 per light New-construction or retrofit. Includes cutting the hole, installing the housing, wiring, and trim. Volume pricing available for whole-room layouts (typically 4–8 lights per room).
Ceiling fan installation: $200–$400 Includes fan-rated junction box (if needed), mounting, wiring, and testing. Fans replacing existing fixtures are on the lower end; new locations requiring new wiring are higher.
Under-cabinet lighting: $300–$800 per kitchen LED strip or puck light systems. Cost depends on the number of cabinet runs, power source location, and whether new circuits or outlets are needed.
Dimmer switch installation: $150–$275 per switch LED-compatible dimmer, installation, and bulb compatibility verification. Switch services →
Landscape lighting system: $1,500–$5,000+ Low-voltage LED landscape system including transformer, wiring, fixtures, and installation. Cost depends on the number of fixtures, property size, and complexity of the layout. Pathway-only systems are on the lower end; full-property systems with uplighting, downlighting, and accent features are higher.
Security/motion flood light installation: $200–$400 per fixture Includes fixture, mounting, wiring to existing circuit, and aim/sensitivity adjustment. GFCI protection verified.
Whole-home LED conversion: $500–$2,000+ Scope depends on the number of fixtures, whether dimmers need replacement, and whether any fixtures need full replacement vs. bulb-only swaps.
All quotes are provided upfront after assessing your project scope.

We’ve been installing and repairing residential lighting across Central New Jersey since 1996 — from recessed lighting layouts in new Tinton Falls construction to landscape lighting on waterfront properties in Rumson to chandelier installations in historic Red Bank homes. Over 900 five-star reviews from homeowners throughout Monmouth County.
If your home still has incandescent, halogen, or fluorescent lighting, converting to LED delivers immediate benefits: 75% lower energy consumption, 15–25x longer bulb life, significantly less heat output, and better light quality. LED technology has advanced to the point where there’s no longer a tradeoff in warmth or dimming capability — modern LEDs match the warm tones of incandescent and dim smoothly with the right dimmer.
Recessed light retrofits: Older recessed can housings designed for incandescent bulbs can be retrofitted with LED trim kits that snap into the existing housing. This gives you the look and efficiency of modern LED recessed lighting without cutting new holes or replacing housings. If the existing housings are non-IC-rated and surrounded by insulation, LED retrofits also eliminate the thermal overload issue.
Fluorescent to LED conversion: Fluorescent tube fixtures in kitchens, garages, basements, and workshops can be converted to LED in two ways: LED tube replacements that work in the existing fixture (with or without ballast bypass), or full fixture replacement with modern LED panels or wraparound fixtures. We recommend full fixture replacement when the existing ballast is aging — it's a cleaner, more reliable long-term solution.
Outdoor fixture upgrades: Replacing halogen security floods, incandescent porch lights, and aging landscape lighting with LED equivalents. LED outdoor fixtures run cooler, draw less power, and last significantly longer — especially important for hard-to-reach fixtures on soffits and eaves.
We handle the electrical side of every conversion — dimmer replacements, ballast bypasses, fixture swaps, and circuit verification. If your panel or wiring needs attention to support a lighting upgrade, we identify that during the assessmen
Most lighting issues aren’t caused by the bulb or the fixture — they’re caused by the wiring, the switch, or the circuit feeding the fixture. Here’s what we see most often and what’s actually going on
Usually a loose connection at the fixture, the switch, or the junction box. Can also be caused by a bulb that's not fully seated or an incompatible dimmer. Simple fix — but if the connection is loose inside the junction box, it needs to be tightened by an electrician to prevent arcing.
This is NOT a bulb problem. Widespread flickering typically indicates a loose neutral connection at the panel, a failing main breaker, or a problem with your utility service entrance. This should be diagnosed promptly — a loose neutral can cause voltage fluctuations that damage electronics throughout the home. Electrical repair →
This is thermal overload protection doing its job. The fixture is overheating — usually because the wrong bulb wattage was installed, insulation is in contact with a non-IC-rated housing, or the can is undersized for the space. We diagnose the cause and either replace the housing with an IC-rated unit, install a lower-wattage LED retrofit, or address the insulation contact.
Dimmer compatibility. Older incandescent dimmers don't work properly with LED bulbs — they cause buzzing, flickering, and reduced dimming range. The fix is replacing the dimmer with an LED-compatible dimmer (Lutron, Leviton) matched to your specific bulb type. Outlet and switch services →
Moisture infiltration into the junction box, the fixture housing, or the wire connections. Outdoor fixtures must be installed in wet-rated or damp-rated housings with proper weather-sealing. We replace the compromised components, verify the GFCI protection is functional, and ensure the installation meets NEC outdoor wiring standards.
Not every lighting task requires a licensed electrician. Here’s an honest breakdown:
You can handle these yourself:
However, make sure you always call a licensed electrician for these:
When in doubt, call us. We'd rather do a quick assessment and tell you it's a DIY job than have you discover a wiring problem halfway through.
