Recessed Lighting Installation FAQs for Capitan
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.
Which areas around Capitan do you cover for recessed lighting installation?
All of Capitan and the surrounding Lincoln County communities, including Fort Stanton, Lincoln, and Hondo.
