Light Fixture Installation & Replacement

Sometimes the electrical system is fine and the fixture simply needs to be replaced. Other projects require a new electrical box, wiring, switch, or circuit before the new fixture can be installed safely.

Bright Electric can install or replace:

• Ceiling lights
• Chandeliers
• Pendant lights
• Wall sconces
• Vanity lights
• Exterior wall fixtures
• Garage lighting
• Utility and work-area lighting

If you are replacing an existing fixture, we can also inspect the electrical box and wiring to make sure they are suitable for the new light.

Chandeliers & Decorative Fixtures

Larger or heavier fixtures may require additional support or changes to the existing electrical box.

We can evaluate the existing installation and make the necessary electrical changes before installing the new fixture.

Outdoor & Exterior Lighting

Exterior lighting can improve visibility, security, and the appearance of a home or business.

Bright Electric installs and services:

• Exterior wall lighting
• Security lighting
• Motion lights
• Building-mounted lighting
• Garage and driveway lighting
• Pole-mounted fixtures
• Outdoor area lighting

We can replace existing fixtures or install new lighting where electrical wiring is not currently present.

Outdoor Lighting Repairs

Exterior fixtures are exposed to weather, moisture, insects, temperature changes, and other conditions that can eventually cause problems.

If your outdoor lights flicker, trip breakers, stop working, or repeatedly burn through lamps or fixtures, the problem may be electrical rather than the fixture itself.

If the cause of a lighting problem is not obvious, our electrical troubleshooting and repair services can help identify the issue.

LED Lighting Upgrades

Upgrading older lighting to LED can reduce maintenance, improve light quality, and lower energy use.

LED upgrades can make sense for:

• Commercial interior lighting
• Parking lots
• Exterior building lighting
• Garages
• Shops
• Offices
• Residential fixtures

Depending on the existing equipment, an upgrade may involve replacing lamps, retrofitting fixtures, or replacing the complete fixture.

We can inspect the existing lighting and recommend an option that makes sense rather than automatically replacing everything.

Lighting Troubleshooting & Repair

Not every lighting problem requires a new fixture.

Common lighting problems include:

• Lights flickering
• Lights dimming unexpectedly
• Breakers tripping when lights are used
• Switches that stop working
• Fixtures that repeatedly fail
• Multiple lights going out at the same time
• Exterior lighting that works intermittently
• Lights that stay on or will not turn on
• Photocell or timer problems

The cause may be the fixture, switch, wiring, connection, circuit, or another part of the electrical system.

Bright Electric can troubleshoot the problem and determine what needs to be repaired.

New Lighting Where No Light Currently Exists

Installing a fixture where lighting does not currently exist is different from simply replacing an existing light.

The project may require:

• New electrical wiring
• Electrical boxes
• New switches
• New circuits
• Access through attics or unfinished areas
• Drywall access depending on construction

Before beginning the project, we can evaluate the location and explain what will be required to install the new lighting.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lighting Installation



Can an electrician install recessed lighting where there are no existing lights?

Yes. New recessed lighting can often be installed where lighting does not currently exist. The project may require new wiring, switches, and electrical boxes depending on the construction of the home.

Can you install a light fixture that I already purchased?

Yes. Bright Electric can install customer-supplied light fixtures as long as the fixture is appropriate for the location and the existing electrical system can safely support it.

Can you add a light where there is no electrical box?

Yes. In many situations we can install new wiring and an electrical box for a new fixture. Access requirements vary depending on the construction of the building.

Do you install chandeliers?

Yes. We can install chandeliers and other decorative fixtures. Larger or heavier fixtures may require additional support or electrical-box modifications.

Do you install commercial lighting?

Yes. Bright Electric installs and repairs lighting for commercial properties, including interior fixtures, exterior building lighting, parking lots, and LED upgrades.

Do you repair parking lot lights?

Yes. We service many types of parking lot and pole-mounted lighting and have bucket-truck capability for elevated fixtures.

Can you convert existing lighting to LED?

In many cases, yes. Depending on the existing fixture, the best option may be an LED retrofit or complete fixture replacement.

Why do my lights flicker?

Flickering can be caused by a loose connection, failing fixture, switch problem, circuit issue, voltage problem, or another electrical condition. If changing the lamp does not solve the problem, electrical troubleshooting may be needed.
