Pot Light Installation Energy-efficient and longer lasting than regular bulbs

The answer to this question depends on the size of the room and the level of brightness you are trying to achieve. For example, a large basement with a limited amount of natural light would need more pot lights compared to a small kitchen space that has large windows. The type and size of the pot lights and the height of the ceiling will also need to be considered. The higher the ceiling, the further the light will disperse across a room, which means you can use smaller pot lights to achieve the same effect as lighting a room with a lower ceiling height. As you can see, figuring out how many pot lights you need isn’t always easy. Fortunately, our team at Floodlight Electric will work with you to better understand your specific needs and complete an installation that achieves your goals and stays within your budget.

The first stage is the design. This is where you’ll decide what you want to accomplish and determine the type and amount of lights required for your space. Measurements will be taken, and then the design will be drafted. Since pot lights are installed directly in the ceiling to create a flush and clean line, your contractor will have to take a look and assess whether there is enough space above the ceiling for the wiring. If you don’t have the space, a ceiling renovation might be required to create an open joist for the wiring. Once you have the space required, holes will be inserted in the ceiling and your electrician will then run the wires to establish the switch box and suitable circuit. It’s important that only a professional electrician sets up your pot lights to avoid overloading the circuit or a blown fixture.

Pot lights are a cost-effective option. The total amount that you can expect to spend on this project will depend on the structure of your home, the bulbs you select, and whether or not you will need to remodel your ceiling. The estimate will outline everything including the cost of materials, installation of the lights, wiring the lights into the ceiling, and the ceiling remodel if it’s needed. The average cost per fixture can run between $200 and $600 depending on the scope of the project.
