Switch Your Hall Lights for Recessed

Switch your hall lights for recessed.

Does your hallway still have brassy chandeliers from the early 90s, clumsy track lighting or yellowing glass globe fixtures? Then it is probably time for an upgrade. Recessed LED lights can help you modernize your décor while improving your home's energy efficiency. At Mr. Electric of Atlanta, we provide high quality commercial and residential services including recessed lighting installation in Atlanta, Georgia and surrounding neighborhoods. Are you wondering if recessed lights are for you? Read below to find out why switching your hallway fixtures can help you improve the style, comfort and value of your property.

Benefits of Upgrading to Recessed Lights

Recessed lighting has become a favorite of homeowners for many reasons. First, recessed lights are very sleek and modern. They look great with today's most popular minimalistic styles. Recessed lights are also perfect for smaller areas, since they create the illusion of more visual space. This is one of the most important reasons to consider them for your hallway. Most hallways are rather narrow. When large fixtures are installed in such a location, it can exaggerate the small size of the space and make it feel claustrophobic. Recessed lights are also often used to cast light on walls, which can highlight artwork. Since the hallway is a popular place for family photos or gallery art, then this lighting upgrade can serve a dual purpose.

How Are Recessed LED Lights Installed?

In order to install recessed lights, the power must be completely turned off. Neglecting this essential step could result in fatal injuries. Then, the existing light fixtures and bulbs will need to be carefully removed. Once all electrical wiring has been properly disconnected, then the new light hanging bracket can be connected to the electrical box inside the ceiling. In some cases, the ceiling drywall may need to be resized to fit the hardware. Once the wiring has been reconnected to the new unit, then the hanger needs to be secured into place with screws. Next, the LED recessed light will be attached to the fixture. After everything has been accurately installed, then the power can be restored, and the new lights can be tested.

Reasons to Invest in Professional Installation Services

Working with electricity can be very dangerous, particularly for those without professional training or hands-on experience. When you hire a certified electrician in Atlanta GA for the task, you will know that your new investment will be properly installed, and your system will remain compliant with existing standards, codes and regulations.
