Recessed Lighting Installation in Dexter, MI

Recessed lighting installation in Dexter: local conditions matter

Dexter is in Washtenaw County in Southeast Michigan, where a large share of the housing was built between the 1920s and the 1970s. That means plenty of 60 and 100 amp services, fuse boxes, ungrounded outlets and, in some neighborhoods, knob and tube or aluminum wiring. When we take on recessed lighting installation in Dexter, the first step is often bringing those older systems up to date.

Getting recessed lighting right

The difference between a good recessed lighting job and a poor one is layout. Too few lights leave scallops and shadows. Too many make a ceiling look like an airport runway. As a starting point we space fixtures at about half the ceiling height, then adjust for cabinets, beams and seating. In Dexter homes with attics above, we use airtight fixtures so heated air is not lost through the ceiling in winter.
