Recessed Lighting Installation in Columbus, NM

Thinking about can lights for your kitchen or living room in Columbus? Modern slim LED recessed lights fit almost any ceiling, even where joists and ducts get in the way.

Recessed lighting services

Layout matters more than the number of lights. We space fixtures according to ceiling height and what the room is used for, keep them off the walls enough to avoid harsh scallops, and put them on dimmers. In Columbus homes with insulated attics we use fixtures rated for contact with insulation.

  • New recessed lighting layouts
  • Slim canless LED fixtures
  • Insulation-contact and airtight rated housings
  • Converting old cans to LED
  • Dimmers and separate lighting zones

Why Columbus properties call a local electrician

In southern New Mexico's desert, Columbus summers push air conditioning, coolers, and well pumps hard for months at a time, and monsoon storms bring lightning and short outages. Heat is tough on breakers, and the sun is tough on anything installed outside.

Depending on your address, power in Luna County typically comes from PNM or Columbus Electric Cooperative. When a job involves the meter or the service connection, we coordinate the shutoff and reconnection with the utility.

Call us for recessed lighting installation anywhere in Columbus, or in nearby Deming, Hachita, Animas, and Fairacres.

Recessed Lighting Installation FAQs for Columbus

How many recessed lights do I need?

A common rule is to space them at about half the ceiling height, so four feet apart for an eight-foot ceiling, then adjust for the room's use. We lay it out with you before cutting.

Can recessed lights go in a ceiling without attic access?

Usually yes. Slim LED fixtures need very little depth, and we can fish cable between openings.

Do recessed lights raise my electric bill?

LED recessed lights use a fraction of the power of old incandescent cans. Converting usually lowers the bill.
