What Goes Into Installing A Light Fixture
Choose The Fixture
Perhaps you already have a fixture in mind, or maybe you’re lost in a sea of lighting options. We’ll make sure whatever you’ve chosen is compatible with your electrical system and makes sense for the location in question. We may suggest alternatives or make recommendations if you’re not sure what kind of lighting would work best.
Remove Any Existing, Outdated Fixtures
Do you already have lighting in the location where you’d like to install the new fixture? We’ll safely remove it so we can replace it with the updated fixture.
Wire, Mount, & Install The New Lighting
Wiring is part of the process where we may find problems with your existing electrical system if they exist. We will hook your new lighting fixture up, mount it so it looks finished, and perform any extra installation tasks, like adding dimmers. In this way, we can also identify and address larger wiring problems in your home.
Test The New Lights
Of course, we won’t leave without first testing to make sure your lights work properly! In this last step of the process, we will make sure you are happy with the work that has been performed.
Outdoor Vs. Indoor Lighting
A small number of fixtures are designed for both indoor and outdoor use, but in most cases, lighting installation services in Macon and Warner Robins differ depending on the location of the desired fixture. Here are a few of the differences between the types of lighting you might find outside versus what’s common inside.
Outdoor Lighting Installation
Outdoor lighting is a massive category in and of itself. Landscape lighting is a very common type of lighting installed outside, usually intended to create an effect, highlight a feature, or bring some light to an otherwise dark part of your yard. Landscape lighting is often installed as uplighting that shines on trees, shrubs, the exterior of your house, or other features to produce an aesthetically pleasing effect.
Other types of outdoor lighting are more specifically geared toward visibility or security. Motion-activated security lights may be installed above your garage or at the front of your home, while pathway lighting or stair lighting illuminates walkways where guests or residents may otherwise trip.
Outdoor lighting needs to be weatherproof, in some cases waterproof, and appropriately designed to be installed in the location you have available. For example, landscape lighting is often made to be inserted into soft surfaces, like grass or ground cover, and so cannot be installed in hardscape.
Indoor Lighting Installation
Indoor lighting installations in Macon & Warner Robins also run the gamut, with everything from simple recessed lighting fixtures to elaborate chandeliers. Indoor lights will need to fit the space you plan to install them in and provide sufficient brightness for the task at hand. For example, in locations where task lighting is preferable, like under kitchen cabinets, we highly recommend LED lighting installations, as LEDs are more energy and cost-effective directional fixtures.
In bathrooms, lighting fixtures should be chosen carefully to handle the level of moisture expected, especially in tub or shower areas. This is why an electrician’s guidance can be so helpful! At We Care, we understand how to install safe, effective options for each space, both inside and outside your home. Call us now at (478) 200-9166 to learn more!
