You can spot an unplanned lighting job from the doorway: cans in a row that follows the joists, a pendant that isn't centered over the island, a switch by the wrong door. Twenty minutes with a tape measure prevents all of it.
What the plan covers
- Layout. Recessed lights spaced for even coverage, typically half the ceiling height apart, and centered on the room, not on the framing.
- Switching. Which lights are on which switch, which need 3-way control from two doors, which get dimmers.
- Circuits. Whether the existing lighting circuit can take the load or a new one is needed.
- Access. Attic above or not, which decides between standard cans and wafer LEDs, and how much patching to expect.
- Fixtures. Box ratings for fans and heavy fixtures, wet and damp ratings, and driver-dimmer compatibility for LED.
Commercial spaces
For shops, offices and lots, the plan adds fixture counts against required light levels, photocells and timers for exterior lighting, and a schedule that works around business hours.
What you get
A sketch, a written estimate, and no surprises. On install day the crew works from the plan, and the walkthrough at the end matches what you approved. One-year warranty on the parts and the work, like everything else we do.
