MAIN 200ALighting Installation in San Marcos, CA
Lighting is the one electrical upgrade you notice every single day. Done well in a San Marcos home it makes rooms feel larger and finishes look intentional. Done badly it gives you glare, dark corners and dimmers that buzz.

Situations we see in San Marcos
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.
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.

Reviews from San Diego 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 · San MarcosBreaker 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.

Renee B.Generator · San MarcosLighting Installation in San Marcos — questions
How much does recessed lighting installation cost in San Marcos?
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 install landscape lighting in San Marcos?
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.
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 add recessed lights without tearing up my ceiling?
In most San Marcos homes, yes. Canless LED fixtures need only a small circular cut, and with attic access above we can wire without opening the ceiling further.
