What we install
Our licensed technicians handle the full range of residential lighting work, indoors and out:
- Recessed and can lighting in kitchens, hallways, and living areas
- Under-cabinet and accent lighting
- Ceiling fan and light fixture replacements
- Dimmer switch and smart-lighting upgrades
- Outdoor security and motion-sensor lighting
- Porch, garage, and entryway fixtures
- Landscape and pathway lighting
- Parking and driveway floodlights
If a new fixture needs a dedicated circuit or an older wiring setup needs to be brought up to code first, we take care of that too — no surprises.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a permit for lighting installation in Star, ID?
It depends on the scope of the work. Simple fixture swaps typically don't require a permit, but adding new circuits or making significant wiring changes usually does. Our licensed electricians know the local requirements and will handle any permitting that's needed so you stay covered.
Can you install smart or dimmable lighting, or just standard fixtures?
Absolutely — we install the full range, including smart-home-compatible fixtures, dimmers, and lighting that integrates with systems like Google Home or Amazon Alexa. If your existing wiring needs an update to support smart lighting, we'll let you know upfront with a flat-rate quote before starting.
