Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I save by switching to LED lighting?

Switching from traditional incandescent or halogen bulbs to LED lighting typically reduces energy consumption by 70-80%. For a home with 30 light fixtures used regularly, this can translate to savings of $300-$500 annually on electricity bills.

Do I need to rewire my home for new lighting?

Not necessarily. Many modern fixtures can be installed using existing wiring. However, if you're adding new lighting locations, implementing smart systems, or if your current wiring is outdated, some rewiring may be required. We'll assess this during our initial consultation.

What's the difference between warm and cool lighting?

Light color temperature is measured in Kelvins (K). Warm white (2700K-3000K) creates a cozy, inviting atmosphere ideal for living rooms and bedrooms. Cool white (3500K-4500K) is crisp and energizing, making it suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, and workspaces. Daylight (5000K+) is the bluest, most energizing option.

Can I install smart lighting in an older home?

Yes, smart lighting can be installed in homes of any age. There are several options available, from complete smart systems requiring new wiring to simpler solutions like smart bulbs and plug-in modules that work with existing fixtures. We can recommend the best approach based on your home's electrical infrastructure.

How long do LED lights really last?

Quality LED lights typically last 15,000 to 50,000 hours, depending on the brand and usage. This translates to approximately 15-25 years of normal household use. This longevity significantly reduces maintenance and replacement costs compared to traditional lighting.
