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 Lamy homes with insulated attics we use fixtures rated for contact with insulation.

Why Lamy properties call a local electrician
Lamy is in New Mexico's high country. Long heating seasons, snow, and winter storms put steady demand on electrical systems and make outages more than an inconvenience. Older adobe and territorial-style buildings in Santa Fe County often hide several generations of wiring behind thick walls.
Most properties in Santa Fe County get their electricity from PNM or a rural electric cooperative. If your project touches the meter or main service, we handle the scheduling with the utility.
Our recessed lighting installation covers all of Lamy, along with neighboring Cerrillos, Glorieta, Rowe, and Pecos.

Recessed Lighting Installation FAQs for Lamy
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 Lamy do you cover for recessed lighting installation?
All of Lamy and the surrounding Santa Fe County communities, including Cerrillos, Glorieta, and Rowe.
