  • Wafer lights clip straight to drywall. No housing, no can above the ceiling, no attic crawl on most jobs. The one thing to get right: the IC rating. If attic insulation sits against your ceiling plane and you install a non-IC fixture, it runs hot, and that's a fire waiting to happen. Four to eight wafers on a single circuit handles most living rooms in the Simpsonville and Five Forks area. We run the switch leg, confirm dimmer compatibility, and leave the room ready to use.

  • A chandelier's weight dictates the type of junction box required behind it. Anything over 35 pounds needs a fan-rated box, and once you cross 50 pounds, you absolutely need a heavy-duty, chandelier-rated box, as required by code. Standard plastic old-work boxes simply cannot support that kind of dead weight, which is why pulling out the old box and upgrading it is always our first step. When it comes to LED retrofit kits, matching your current trim style and bulb base is critical, or you'll end up with an ugly gap or uneven light patterns across the room. Older homes also throw a wrench into smart dimmer installations; major brands like Lutron and Leviton require a neutral wire at the switch box, an ungrounded luxury that most pre-1985 wiring completely lacks.

  • If your current switch box doesn't have a neutral wire, our team will have to pull a new one to the location. While it isn’t a massive overhaul, skipping this step creates major issues, because putting a smart dimmer on a hot-only switch leg will cause your lights to flicker, hum loudly, or just completely burn out the switch within a week. Getting that neutral line properly routed allows the new dimmer to function perfectly and sync right up with Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit. We handle the entire process—including the physical wiring, smart app programming, and system testing—in just a single afternoon visit.

Frequently Asked Questions About Residential Lighting: Greenville, SC

  • A canless wafer light, also called a potlight, is a single integrated unit that clips directly to the drywall with no separate housing above the ceiling. There's no attic access required on most jobs. Most are IC-rated and airtight (AT-rated) out of the box, run cooler than old incandescent cans, and are far less likely to create a heat pathway through your insulation.
