## Lighting Installation in Foster City, CA

Flicker and buzz are the most common complaints we get after someone else's LED install in Foster City. Almost always it is a dimmer that was never rated for the driver in the fixture, and it is a quick fix once you know what to look for.

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 Foster City

### 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.

### 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.

### 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.

## Reviews from San Mateo 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.

Breaker tripped Sunday night and I got a call back in about ten minutes. Tech found a bad connection in a junction box behind the closet, fixed it that night, and the price was what he said on the phone.

Six recessed lights in the living room and a dimmer that finally doesn't buzz. They laid the whole layout out on the ceiling with tape first, which I appreciated.

## Lighting Installation in Foster City — questions

Can you install landscape lighting in Foster City?

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

Can you add recessed lights without tearing up my ceiling?

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

How much does recessed lighting installation cost in Foster City?

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.

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.

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.
