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

Situations we see in Salinas
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.
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.
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 Monterey County
Standby generator install. They sized it to what we actually use rather than the biggest unit, then walked me through the transfer switch and the exercise cycle.
Renee B.Generator · SalinasSix 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.
Tom R.Lighting installation · SalinasFlickering through the whole house turned out to be a loose neutral at the service. They found it in under an hour when two other companies had shrugged.
Bill T.Troubleshooting · SalinasLighting Installation in Salinas — questions
How much does recessed lighting installation cost in Salinas?
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 Salinas 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.
Can you install landscape lighting in Salinas?
Yes, including low-voltage transformers, buried runs, path and uplighting, and timer or photocell control.
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.
