For lighting that is subtle, sleek, and seamless, consider recessed lights. This versatile lighting offers a clean, streamlined look. It illuminates spaces and highlights key features without overpowering them.
Recessed ceiling lights are more complicated to install than some other types, so leave the job to the certified electricians at Mister Sparky®. We can handle any indoor lighting job with skill, experience, and industry-leading training.
If you need recessed lighting installed in your home, call our licensed electricians today at (800) 906-4577 to schedule an appointment!
Recessed lights are fixtures with concealed housing that sit flush with the ceiling. They install into an opening, leaving only the trim and light source visible. The understated design creates a minimalist appearance.
Two main types of recessed lights include insulation contact (IC) rated lights and non-IC-rated recessed lights. IC-rated lights stay cooler when installed near insulation, while non-IC-rated recessed lights must be kept away from insulation and are best for uninsulated areas.
Our experienced technicians know the safest way to install recessed lights. We can help you design the lighting layout to best suit the room's needs, whether for general or accent lighting. We'll ensure the electrical wiring is done correctly and safely and take precautions for installations near insulation.
We know and follow building local codes, so you can be confident your new recessed lighting installation will be in compliance while making a stylish addition to your space.
Consider recessed lighting to accent specific features or achieve a soft ambient glow. A few benefits of recessed lights include:

We've answered some of the most common questions about recessed lighting.
How Do You Install Recessed Lighting?
To install recessed lighting, you need to:
Recessed lighting installation is a complex process that requires expert knowledge of electrical wiring and lighting systems. If you have any doubts, it's best to hire a professional.
How Many Recessed Lights Do I Need in a Room?
For standard 8-foot-high ceilings, recessed lights should generally be placed 4 to 6 feet apart and 2 to 3 feet away from walls. Using this general guideline, you can determine the number of recessed lights you'll need based on your room size and ceiling height.
What Are the Different Types of Recessed Lighting Trims?
Common options include baffle, reflector, gimbal, wall wash, open, eyeball, and pinhole trims. Each trim serves a different purpose, such as reducing glare, amplifying light, or directing it.
How Do You Change a Recessed Light Bulb?
To change a recessed light bulb, pull down on the trim and press the clips or turn the bulb counterclockwise to release the old bulb. Carefully remove the bulb from the socket and install the new one.

Ray Greyling
Excellent service. Very prompt response. Todd was very friendly and answered all my questions. I will definitely use Mr Sparky again. Highly recommended!
Raymond (optikalblitz)
Yance and John from Mr. Sparky took on a request for me to relocate my EVSE from one wall of my garage to a more central location so I could charge my EVs in both stalls. They were able to review, quote, and complete the relocation with an even higher quality installation than originally fitted (by another company). Very happy with the speed of the job and the workmanship of it as well.

Linda Mullan
Michael installed a new bathroom exhaust fan at my home. It was a complicated install requiring that he work in the cramped attic crawl space. He did an excellent job. He explained what was being done, and why. He was friendly, very courteous, and respectful of property. We are very happy with his work. And would definitely recommend him.
Jonathan Lalas
Great service when you need help with electrical situations. Our outlet in the backyard went out and the light on our porch. Marvin came and was very knowledgably as well as suggested upgrades that could make things even better. This was my first time using this kind of service and it was a very pleasant one. I would recommend the team anyday. We recently had our halogen lights changed to LED. Once again Marvin made the process stress free and finished quickly.
Savan Patel
Brady from Mr Sparks did an excellent job installing my Tesla charger and surge protector! He throughly explained different options and made me feel comfortable on picking the correct one for the best price. 10/10 would recommend!
James Dick
What a great and honest company. All their technicians were a pleasure to work with and there office manager, Kim, is a treasure. She keeps you informed and updated every step of the project. You cannot ask for a more trustworthy owner than Jason. My wife and I love this company.
AJ Adams
I love a company that consistently does great work. They installed my backyard Ring spotlight cam and today, Thomas replaced my back porch light fixture. Anytime I need these types of services I know I can count on the knowledgeable electricians from Mister Sparky Electric to be courteous, professional, and do quality work for a fair price.

Rey was fast, and efficient. When it came time to finish, and I mean billing, Rey offered me the cash discount of 5%, which I was ready for. All In all, I think for $300 I got my money's worth. Good job Rey!
Debby
Mister Sparky came same day and replaced my son's RV power box that blew up after it was improperly installed by a handyman. They performed a safety check on my 30year old electrical system and found several fire hazards and burnt spots inside of my main breaker panel and furnace wiring as well and replaced it same day and added whole home surge protection. They don't mess around and the work has a 10 year 24/7 warranty. Highly recommend
Sanikommu Haneesha
I worked with Preston to get a quote, and he did an excellent job. He was knowledgeable, explained everything clearly, and patiently answered all my questions. He gave me a reasonable estimate and carefully walked around the entire house to make sure nothing was missed. I would definitely recommend his service—he deserves more than five stars!
Lacey Mathis
We had a great experience with Mister Sparky! From the moment we called, their customer service was excellent. They answered right away and were able to get us scheduled for the very next day. Steve Campbell, the manager, was extremely knowledgeable and even helped identify an additional issue we were having, which he was able to resolve incredibly quickly. Murphy was wonderful as well! He was friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. The entire process was quick and easy, and we really appreciated how helpful everyone was. Highly recommend Mister Sparky!

Carla Longacre
This company is very responsive. I had no problems getting a hold of someone and they always kept me updated. They did some much needed electrical work done to our old farm house and they are coming back to do govee lights. Very professional and clean. Daryn was fast and made sure it was done correctly.
Tim Robertson
I am exploring a DIY Balcony Solar Project and needed a Dedicated Circuit to install it safely. I contacted Sparky and received a reasonable quote with a rapid initial response ans well as an excellent solution proposed. During their second visit, after I accepted the estimate, they quickly came out and did an excellent job adding a 220V 20A outlet dedicated from my breaker panel. Every interaction with each of their staff was professional and courteous. I can highly recommend Sparky!
John Stockel
Jacob We had Jacob visit us for a repair analysis after nails from a siding replacement on our home inadvertently disrupted two circuits requiring bypass circuitry. Jacob is a consummate professional. He provided us with an excellent assessment of the issue and proposed a solution that would not affect the beauty or integrity of the interior or exterior of our home. He explained everything in extraordinary but understandable detail. Could not have hoped for a better experience. Jacob is the best of the best. Thank you. 🙏🏼
Mark Johnson
Angel was my service technician who installed my new EV charger system as well as a whole house surge protector. Angel has an attention to detail as well as being an experienced electrician. The installation was seamless from start to finish and I was extremely impressed with Angels work that was completed. Angel and Mr.Sparky exceeded my expectations. I will highly recommend Angel and Mr. Sparky to all my family and friends! Thanks, Mark J

Jawuan was a great Service Provider. Arrived early, had his shoe covers. Diagnosed the issue, explained fully the scope of work, made the repairs in a quick amd orderly manner, made some excellent recommendations to prevent potential future issues. I have some additional electrical work i will need done and I definitely know what what professional I will be choosing for all future projects. I highly recommend Jawuan. The company pricing is a little high like every business nowadays but Jawuan made it worth the cost.
