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:

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.

Professional, punctual, and proficient! I called Mister Sparky to install new electrical sockets for my basement, and they showed up ready to knock the job out of the park. The onsite technician gave me a clear breakdown of what needed to be done, and he met and exceeded my expectations. Highly would recommend these guys!

I truly hope Mister Sparky realizes what a top employee they have in Andrew Brook. Andrew has taken care of multiple electrical issues I have had in my home. He has always been on time, extremely knowledgeable, professional, and helpful. Wonderful, friendly person. Just a joy to know I can call Mister Sparky and request Andrew to take care of my electrical needs. I have full faith in Andrew’s abilities. And what a genuinely nice guy too!

I called Mister Sparky because two ceiling fans in our new house didn’t work and needed to be replaced. A few days later, Marco showed up exactly on time. Marco is a Very pleasant, bright, and organized young man. He is very focused on his work and neatly cleaned up his workplace when finished installing the new fans. We are very impressed with every aspect of our experience with Mister Sparky and recommend them without reservation.

This is review for a quote for upgrade and installation - Caleb, our technician was friendly, knowledgeable, and arrived on time. He came prepared with information about our referral concerns and asked thoughtful follow-up questions to ensure we understood the best options available to us. He also took the time to explain available discounts and warranty services. We truly appreciated his professionalism and thoroughness and would highly recommend his services!
Alexis Moore
Mike was very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. He did a great job with the electrical work and also pointed out a few upgrades I may want to consider in the future, without being pushy about it. I appreciated his advice and would definitely recommend him.
Will L.
They came out next day to give us a quote on an EV charging set up. Not only did they find a shorter and easier route and set up but provided us with several options and quotes. They also ended up being a bit cheaper than a few other quotes we got. They were friendly and very efficient. I highly recommend them and will definitely reach out to them with any future electrical needs we have.

Kyle and Zack answered all of my questions, did a terrific job across a number of different requests, and cleaned everything up so you’d never know they were there. Don’t know when I will need electrical work done again, but when I do I’ll be calling these guys.
