MAIN 200ALighting Installation in Los Altos, CA
Flicker and buzz are the most common complaints we get after someone else's LED install in Los Altos. 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 Los Altos
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.
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.

Reviews from Santa Clara County
Added outlets to three bedrooms and a weatherproof one out back. Cuts were small, patches were tidy, and everything got labeled at the panel.
Hugo S.Outlet installation · Los AltosGFCI in the bathroom kept tripping. They found real leakage in an old fixture rather than just replacing the GFCI and calling it done.
Nadia F.GFCI repair · Los AltosKitchen breaker kept popping whenever we ran the microwave and kettle. They put in a dedicated circuit instead of just telling us to use one appliance at a time.

How much does recessed lighting installation cost in Los Altos?
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.
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.
Can you add recessed lights without tearing up my ceiling?
In most Los Altos homes, yes. Canless LED fixtures need only a small circular cut, and with attic access above we can wire without opening the ceiling further.
Can you install landscape lighting in Los Altos?
Yes, including low-voltage transformers, buried runs, path and uplighting, and timer or photocell control.
