How much does recessed lighting cost per can in Northgate?

Northgate-area retrofit LED cans typically run $125–$200 installed per fixture. New circuits, attic access, and fishing finished walls without an attic add cost.

Can you add dimmers and smart switches?

Yes. Path, tree, and architectural low-voltage landscape lighting with properly sized transformers and direct-burial wire — installed to last.

Replacing a fixture on an existing circuit usually does not. New circuits, exterior lighting circuits, and additions/remodels do — we handle permits when required.
