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

Reviews from Los Angeles County
Warehouse high bay retrofit to LED. Did it over a weekend so we never stopped shipping, and the place is twice as bright.
Greg L.Warehouse lighting · Santa MonicaHot tub circuit and disconnect. Permit, inspection, everything. Showed up when they said and cleaned up after.
Owen H.Hot tub wiring · Santa MonicaSix 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 · Santa MonicaLighting Installation in Santa Monica — questions
Can you add recessed lights without tearing up my ceiling?
In most Santa Monica 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.
How much does recessed lighting installation cost in Santa Monica?
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 Santa Monica?
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.
