"The project went really well. Mike did a nice job of helping with the design work so we got maximum use out of the large open basement. There were overhead vents and pipes and a central steel supporting beam that had to be worked around. Mike and his crew quickly framed in the bedrooms and then ran all the electrical wire for outlets, ceiling lights etc. Drywall was then hung and finished followed by a drop ceiling. Doors and trim were hung and the whole job went very quickly. Less than two weeks as I recall. The basement bathroom was completely redone at the same time and we were very happy with the outcome. New lighting, vent fan, towel bars, sink and toilet. I would definitely have Mike and Konstruct Pros do another remodel for me!! Very pleasant to work with, respectful, hard-working and on time. Delivered what was promised."

"Good...the last time I had someone out is was an electrician and he replaced a ballister and tried to fix the bathroom light fixture but it was non repairable so I was given an allowance to replace it and now I have a cute light fixture all spanking new."

Chandelier Installation FAQs, answered by experts

The cost to install recessed lighting, also known as can lights, averages about $360 per fixture, with a typical range of $100 to $480 per light. If you are replacing pre-existing lights where wiring is already in place, the cost may be lower, around $200 to $300 per fixture. The final price is influenced by several factors, including labor costs in your area, ceiling material, the type of housing and trim, bulb type, materials, accessibility, and whether new wiring or permits are required. Electricians may charge hourly at a rate of $85 to $105 per hour, or a flat rate of $200 to $250 per fixture.

Most ceiling light fixtures only have a black, white, and green wire, but in some cases, you’ll also find a red wire in the box. This is a second hot wire, like the black wire, and is included for ceiling light kits that have a fan.

This is definitely a matter of personal taste, but certain spaces might be better suited to recessed lighting than others. Areas where you need good task lighting, such as the laundry room, kitchen, or home office could be good candidates for recessed LED lighting. You also might choose to use it for a sleek, subtle lighting option in a living room where you want to highlight other aspects of the space.

Where you place your lamp post is dependent on several factors. For example, if you’re installing a lamppost for aesthetic lighting purposes, you’ll want to consider placing it in a highly-visible spot or a location that illuminates a yard feature. Use it as a focal point of your outdoor living space or use it to light up a garden or walkway. Be sure, however, to avoid any obstructions like trees or other structures that might be in the way or will cast a shadow. 

It’s possible to remove a new construction recessed light without getting into your attic, though it’s a bigger job. You’ll need to identify the joist locations using a stud finder, then cut a square hole in the drywall of your ceiling to remove the fasteners holding the fixture. After removing the light, you’ll have to patch and paint the ceiling again.
