Types of New Lights We Install Frequently
- Smart Lighting: These innovative devices, which can be controlled from a smartphone or other device, are quickly becoming a staple in modern homes. What makes them so appealing is their ability to automate lighting schedules and adjust brightness remotely. That means no more getting up to turn off the lights or stumbling around in the dark. Smart lights are efficient, cost-effective, and versatile.
- Landscape Lighting: Outdoor lights can add a touch of elegance and sophistication to the exterior of your home that no other feature can. Whether you want to host late-night gatherings or simply enjoy the beauty of your outdoor space from the comfort of your home, landscape lighting can help highlight the exquisite elements of your yard. Perhaps most importantly, landscape lighting can also provide an added layer of security, deterring unwanted visitors and unwanted scenarios.
- LED Lighting: Home owners are switching to LED because they are the most energy-efficient, long-lasting and produce the least amount of heat, making them safer to use and reducing the risk of fire.
- Security Lighting: Criminals often target homes that appear unoccupied or poorly lit, and by installing outdoor lighting, you can deter them from even attempting to break in. Furthermore, well-lit outdoor areas promote better visibility, which can help prevent slips, trips, and falls. So, if you want to enhance the appearance of your home and keep your family and property safe, then outdoor security lighting is a great investment.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to install new lighting in a home?
Most standard fixture replacements in the Twin Cities run between $150 and $400 per fixture installed, while full landscape lighting systems and chandeliers requiring new wiring or structural support typically range from $800 to $4,500 depending on scope. Norske Electric provides upfront, written pricing before any work begins so you'll never see a surprise on the invoice.
Can I replace a light fixture myself, or should I hire an electrician?
Simple like-for-like fixture swaps on a low ceiling are possible for confident homeowners, but anything involving heavier fixtures, ceiling fans, recessed cans, new circuits, exterior wiring, or fixtures over 8 feet should be handled by a licensed electrician. Improper installations are a common cause of house fires and almost always void homeowners insurance claims.
Are LED lights really worth upgrading to?
Yes — LEDs use roughly 75–90% less energy than incandescent bulbs and last 15–25 times longer, which typically pays back the upgrade cost within 1–3 years on heavily used fixtures. They also produce far less heat, reducing summer cooling load and the risk of fixture-related fires.
Do you install smart lighting and dimmer switches?
Absolutely. We install Lutron Caséta, Leviton Decora Smart, and most major Wi-Fi and Z-Wave systems, including dimmers, smart switches, motion sensors, and integrated app- or voice-controlled landscape lighting. We'll also help you choose products that work with your existing Apple HomeKit, Google Home, or Amazon Alexa setup.
