## Lighting Installation in Capitola, CA

Lighting is the one electrical upgrade you notice every single day. Done well in a Capitola home it makes rooms feel larger and finishes look intentional. Done badly it gives you glare, dark corners and dimmers that buzz.

Call (833) 652-8933 and describe what is happening. If it is a same-day job we will book it today, and if it needs a site visit to quote properly we will tell you that too.

## Situations we see in Capitola

### Outdoor lights on all day

A failed photocell or a timer that lost its schedule. Both are quick calls, and worth bundling with any other outdoor work.

### Ceiling fan wobbles or the box is loose

Standard boxes are not rated for fan loads. We install a fan-rated brace box, which is the actual fix for a wobble.

### New LEDs flicker or buzz

The dimmer and the driver are mismatched. Swapping to a compatible ELV or forward-phase dimmer usually ends it immediately.

### Kitchen has dark counters

Overhead cans light the floor, not the work surface. Under-cabinet lighting fixes the shadow your body casts when you stand at the counter.

## Reviews from Santa Cruz County

★★★★★

Tesla Wall Connector in the garage, clean conduit run, done in an afternoon. They talked me out of a panel upgrade I didn't actually need.

Warehouse high bay retrofit to LED. Did it over a weekend so we never stopped shipping, and the place is twice as bright.

GFCI in the bathroom kept tripping. They found real leakage in an old fixture rather than just replacing the GFCI and calling it done.

## Lighting Installation in Capitola — questions

Can you install landscape lighting in Capitola?

Yes, including low-voltage transformers, buried runs, path and uplighting, and timer or photocell control.

How much does recessed lighting installation cost in Capitola?

Price per light drops as the count goes up, and attic access above the room makes a real difference. A six-light living room with attic access is a straightforward job. Call (833) 652-8933 for a per-room quote.

Can you add recessed lights without tearing up my ceiling?

In most Capitola homes, yes. Canless LED fixtures need only a small circular cut, and with attic access above we can wire without opening the ceiling further.

Do you install fixtures I bought myself?

Yes, that is very common. Bring your own chandelier, fan or downlights and we will install and wire them.

Why do my dimmable LEDs still flicker?

Because the dimmer predates the bulb. Older leading-edge dimmers were built for incandescent loads. We match the dimmer to the driver and the flicker goes away.
