Frequently Asked Questions

How many pot lights do I need for a room?

As a general guide, one pot light per 4-6 square feet of ceiling space provides even lighting, but the right number depends on ceiling height, room use, and dimmer preferences. We provide a free layout recommendation.

Can pot lights be installed in any ceiling?

Most drywall ceilings can accommodate pot lights, including finished basements. We'll check for insulation clearance (IC-rated fixtures) and structural obstructions before installation.

Do pot lights work outdoors?

Yes, we install wet-rated pot lights under soffits and overhangs for porches, patios, and exterior entertaining areas.

Can I dim my new pot lights?

Yes, we recommend and install dimmable LED pot lights paired with a compatible smart or standard dimmer switch.
