What it covers
What light installation includes
Light installation is the mounting and wiring of a light fixture to a rated electrical box and circuit. A replacement uses the existing box. A new location needs a new box, new cable and often a new switch.
- Replacing old ceiling and wall fixtures
- Custom fixtures such as chandeliers, pendants and island lights
- Recessed lights in kitchens, basements and living rooms
- Porch, garage and motion-sensor security lights
- Dimmer switches matched to LED fixtures
Custom light installation
Heavy fixtures need a box rated for their weight. Long pendants over an island need the right drop length. The electrician checks both before ordering parts.
Plainwell homes
Lighting details that matter in Plainwell houses
Recessed lights in a ceiling below an insulated attic need IC-rated housings. IC-rated fixtures can touch insulation without overheating.
Basement lighting is a common Plainwell project. Finished basements need lights on a switch at each stair, and damp areas need fixtures rated for damp locations.
Outdoor fixtures face snow, ice and freeze-thaw cycles. Wet-rated fixtures with sealed covers last longer here.
A new light location usually needs an electrical permit. In the City of Plainwell, Professional Code Inspections issues it.

Call (815) 456-4349Do I need an electrician to replace a light fixture in Plainwell?

The dimmer is usually the cause. Older dimmers are not made for LED loads. An LED-rated dimmer fixes most flicker.
