What We Install

Good lighting is one of the highest-impact upgrades you can make to a home. Done well, it makes spaces feel bigger, more inviting, and more functional. Done poorly, it's spotty, glaring, and hard to fix later.

A typical lighting and fixture install project by Nashville Electric Pros includes:

  • Recessed (can) lighting — LED retrofits or new construction, planned for even spacing and proper beam spread
  • Chandeliers and pendants — proper rated box, structural support, dimmer-compatible
  • Ceiling fans — fan-rated boxes, balanced mounting, switched control
  • Under-cabinet lighting — LED strip or puck, hardwired or low-voltage
  • Outdoor lighting — exterior fixtures, security lights, garage and porch
  • Landscape lighting — low-voltage path, accent, and uplighting
  • Smart switches and dimmers — Lutron Caseta, Leviton Decora Smart, Insteon

Most Common Nashville Lighting Projects

Recessed Lighting Plans

We design a recessed lighting layout — usually 4-inch or 6-inch LEDs spaced for even coverage, on properly sized dimmers. Most rooms take 4–8 cans.

Chandelier & Pendant Installs

Foyer chandeliers, dining pendants, and kitchen island lights require a properly rated box, supported mounting, and the right dimmer for the load. We handle the wiring and the install.

Ceiling Fans & Fixture Swaps

Adding a ceiling fan where there wasn't one means running power, installing a fan-rated box, and adding switched control. We do it cleanly with minimum drywall damage.

Outdoor & Landscape

Soffit lighting, porch fixtures, path lighting, uplighting, garage flood lights, and security motion sensors — wired to GFCI-protected circuits with weatherproof boxes.

When to Call an Electrician for Lighting Work

Some lighting projects are DIY. Many are not.

New Circuit Needed

Anytime you're adding fixtures, not just swapping, you likely need new wiring.

Recessed Cans in Ceiling

Cutting into ceilings, working with insulation, and meeting IC-rated requirements is electrician territory.

Heavy Chandelier

Anything over 35 lbs needs proper structural support and an electrical box rated for the weight.

Ceiling Fan Install

Fans need fan-rated boxes — standard light boxes don't carry the dynamic load.

Outdoor Lighting

Exterior circuits require GFCI, weatherproof boxes, and proper bonding.

Dimmer Issues

Buzzing, flickering, or LED compatibility problems usually mean the wrong dimmer for the load.

Lighting & Fixture FAQs

Common questions about lighting and fixture install in Nashville.

How many recessed lights do I need?
Rule of thumb: 4-inch cans every 4 feet, 6-inch cans every 5–6 feet. Most living rooms need 4–8 cans. We design the layout for the actual space.
Can you add a ceiling fan where there isn't one?
Yes. We run new wiring, install a fan-rated electrical box, and add a wall switch for fan and light control.
Will you patch the drywall after install?
We do minor patching after recessed lighting and fan installs. For larger drywall work, we recommend coordinating a drywall finisher to do the final mud and paint.
Do you install smart lighting?
Yes. Lutron Caseta, Leviton Decora Smart, GE/Jasco, Insteon, and Hue retrofits. We wire and configure the system.
Can you install landscape lighting?
Yes. Low-voltage landscape lighting with a transformer-driven system, path lights, uplights, and dawn-to-dusk control.
How long does a recessed lighting install take?
Most rooms with 4–6 cans take half a day. Whole-home recessed projects are usually 2–3 days.
