Lighting Installation

Professional installation of indoor and outdoor lighting fixtures, recessed lights, ceiling fans, and landscape lighting. Code-compliant work with proper wiring and circuit protection.

Professional Lighting Installation in New Jersey

Lloyd Mills Electric installs all types of residential and commercial lighting fixtures throughout New Jersey. Whether you're upgrading outdated fixtures, adding task lighting to a kitchen, or installing landscape lights, we handle the wiring, mounting, and code compliance.

Every installation starts with proper circuit evaluation. We verify your existing wiring can handle the new load, install dedicated circuits when needed, and ensure all connections meet NJ electrical code. Fixtures are mounted securely to junction boxes rated for the weight and use.


Indoor Lighting We Install

  • Recessed lighting – kitchen, bathroom, hallway, and living spaces
  • Pendant lights and chandeliers – dining rooms, entryways, and islands
  • Under-cabinet lighting – LED strips and puck lights for countertop work areas
  • Ceiling fans with lights – proper support and switch wiring
  • Track and rail lighting – adjustable accent lighting
  • Bathroom vanity lights – moisture-rated fixtures in wet locations

We handle dimmer switch installation, three-way switching, and smart lighting controls as part of the job.


Outdoor and Landscape Lighting

Exterior lighting requires weatherproof boxes, GFCI protection, and proper burial depth for underground wiring. We install:

  • Landscape path lights and spotlights – low-voltage systems with transformers
  • Porch and entry lights – motion sensors and photocells available
  • Deck and patio lighting – post caps, step lights, and overhead fixtures
  • Security and flood lights – properly aimed and wired for safety

All outdoor work uses wet-location-rated fixtures and conduit where required by code.


Why Proper Installation Matters

Loose connections cause flickering, heat buildup, and fire risk. Fixtures mounted to drywall instead of structural boxes fall. Overloaded circuits trip breakers or worse. We do it right: secure mounting, proper wire gauge, correct box fill, and torqued connections.

If you're replacing old fixtures yourself and hit aluminum wiring, knob-and-tube, or no ground wire, stop and call us. Those situations need a licensed electrician.


What to Expect

We'll confirm fixture compatibility with your wiring, discuss switch locations and control options, and schedule installation at your convenience. Most single-fixture installs take one to two hours. Whole-home lighting upgrades or recessed lighting projects take longer and may require drywall patching, which we coordinate or handle.

You'll get fixtures that work safely, look level, and stay put.

How it works


01

Evaluate Circuits and Wiring

We inspect your electrical panel and existing wiring to confirm capacity and identify any code or safety issues before installation.

02

Install Boxes and Run Wire

New junction boxes are mounted to structural members, and wiring is run through walls or attic spaces as needed, following NJ code requirements.

03

Mount Fixtures and Test

Fixtures are securely attached, connections are made with proper wire nuts or terminals, and we test operation, dimming, and switching before cleanup.

Common questions

Can I buy my own fixtures and have you install them?+

Yes. Just confirm they're rated for the location—wet-rated for outdoors, IC-rated for insulated ceilings—and that you have all mounting hardware. We'll let you know if there's a compatibility issue when we arrive.

Do I need a permit for lighting installation?+

Most fixture replacements don't require a permit. New circuits, extensive rewiring, or structural changes typically do. We'll tell you if your project needs one and handle the filing.

How much does it cost to install recessed lights?+

Cost depends on the number of fixtures, ceiling access, and whether new circuits are needed. We provide a clear estimate after evaluating your space and electrical panel capacity.
