Recessed lighting is one of the easiest ways to make a room look cleaner, brighter and more modern. At ZED Electric, our licensed electricians install recessed lights in existing San Diego homes, from a few new cans over a kitchen island to a full layout across an open living area.
California’s Title 24 energy code sets rules for new residential lighting. Recessed fixtures generally need to be high-efficacy LED, and fixtures in insulated ceilings need to be rated for insulation contact and sealed to limit air leakage. We use fixtures that meet these requirements so your project passes inspection and performs well for years.
Kitchens, living rooms, hallways, bathrooms, home offices and garages are the most common. Many homeowners pair new recessed lights with dimmer and switch upgrades so they can set the right light level for any time of day.
