"The RaLo electrician did a great job running new wire to install my outdoor camlight. He also informed me of a number of other issues he noticed and gave me good price to address those issues as well. I definitely recommend their services."
"I had 10 recessed lights installed in my home, and the job was absolutely fantastic. The electrician worked quickly and efficiently, and the price was great for the quality of work. The new lights look amazing — they change colors, can be dimmed, and completely transformed the space. He also installed two separate light switches so we can control the lights from different walls, which has been super convenient. Overall, I’m extremely happy with the service and would definitely hire him again!"
"Outstanding! Super professional. Offered advice on my electrical installation and did the work quickly. I was very pleased with the end installation."
"I couldn't be more pleased with this company! Dave C. showed up on time and even called to let me know he was on his way. Very knowledgeable, conscientious, polite, and professional. He worked through a couple of issues and did top quality work! He kept me informed throughout the task. He went out of his way to prepare the wood surface by removing old caulk and sanding so that I would have minimal paint touch up to do later. He even asked for paper towels to clean the new light! He attached the new light securely and safely. What a joy to find a company that doesn't overcharge or take advantage of you. Superb work; top notch!"
"They were in touch with me immediately after submitting request. They have done an excellent job, including a little more work than originally expected."
"The light switch in my bathroom started making a sound and I could smell it burning. I called the company as soon as they opened. I got the owner on the phone and he said he could have someone come out to my house later that day and gave on instructions on handling the light switch until his employee arrived. His employee called prior to visit to let me know he when he would arrive. The employee arrived on time, replaced the old switch and installed in a new switch. They charge by the hour and there was still time left over, so I was able to have him check on some other electrical issues. He gave me his assessment the issues and his recommendation for the products I needed. He also worked with the owner to offer me a discount when I was ready to get those items installed. I will be using their services again soon."
"The speakers were installed nicely. Although they were installed too close to wall and now limiting my options for screen install. The owner is very knowledgeable and I wish he was present on the day of install."
"Very professional and knowledgeable in his work. He worked and cleaned afterwards. The only problem is the ceiling was cut while installing the light and I would like it repaired please."
"Great job! They responded quickly to my request, showed up as expected, and completed the job efficiently! I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience!"
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.
For a 10-by-10-foot room, you’ll usually need between four and six recessed lights. However, this is a general figure because each space is different. In addition to your room’s square footage, it’s also important to consider other factors, like the purpose of the recessed lights. If they’ll serve as ambient lighting, you’ll need more lights than you would if you were using them for accent lighting.
Installing a light fixture usually takes about one to two hours for a standard ceiling-mounted fixture, and longer for more extensive installations. The installation time can vary depending on the type of fixture, whether you’re installing a new fixture or replacing an old one, and any additional wiring or drywall work required to finish around the new fixture. When hiring an electrician to install your light fixture, ask them to provide a time estimate based on the specifics of your project.
Pendant lights make a worthy addition to your home lighting, and you can find them in almost every style. The average cost to install a light fixture is $550, and labor is the highest cost. You can DIY a light fixture replacement in an afternoon and save a couple of hundred dollars, depending on the fixture. If you’re not confident working with electrical components, an electrician in your area can easily install your pendant lighting for you.
A wafer light lasts about 30,000 to 50,000 hours, depending on the quality and usage. Doing the math translates to approximately 10 to 20 years of regular use. LED wafer lights are known for their energy efficiency and longevity, significantly outlasting traditional incandescent or fluorescent bulbs.
Factors such as usage patterns, operating environment, and stability and consistency of the electrical supply influence their life span. Regular use in a residential setting ensures these lights provide long-term, reliable illumination with minimal maintenance.
