Hello everyone. I had a question about ceiling lights. My living room definitely needs more light and I don’t really want to have lamps or halogen lamps everywhere. I’d rather have a clean look with ceiling lights. However, I’ve never done this before. Someone told me that I would need to make sure that the house was prewired for that. Does anyone have experience with this? Where would I have to go to get this kind of work done? The house was built in 2001. Thank you

    From your description I believe you’re wanting recessed lighting and your house doesn’t have to be prewired for it, though you will need to add the correct circuit(s) and wire to incorporate it. I incorporate it into just about every project I do and the key to achieving great aesthetics with it is using the correct size lighting and lighting balance. Where you place this lighting, types, and wattages is key to this balance.

    Now, if you’re not experienced in lighting or wiring I suggest you hire a professional to work with you on achieving the look and effects you want and this can be successfully incorporated into any decor, contemporary or more traditional.

    If you contact me directly I may know someone in your area that can help you. What I can tell you is you need to budget approximately $200. 00 per light which includes the light and installation. This is inclusive of ALL work, wiring, drywall/plaster, and painting, if the paint can be successfuly matched; if not, plan on an additional $350. 00 to repaint the entire ceiling.
