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.

Carol Lool
We needed a new sub panel install. Patrick and Brooks arrived on time and spent an entire day doing the job right. They are both knowledgeable and personable. Very respectful of our home. It was a big job and they made sure it was done correctly. They even threw in a side job for free. The price was great! And my husband and I can sleep better knowing the electric in our home is safe. We are customers for life. Highly recommend!!!!
Melinda Perez
I cannot say enough what an amazing job Mill, our Mr. Sparky tech did on our electrical panel today. I was so impressed with his professionalism, kindness and knowledge. Even our dog loved him this is a close knit 55+ community and the one thing we depend on each other for is referrals. I just cannot say enough how impressed I am.
The Greens
This is the 2nd time I hire Mister Sparkey. This time they replaced all my outlets and light switches and installed recess lighting throughout the house. Shamarie Hills was my technician and he was very competent and efficient. John the branch manager was also ever helpful and communicative.
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!
Scott H
Great service and pricing. Franklin was awesome. He was very knowledgeable and thorough. I will use them again!
Michael “UxorialCobra14” Abbazia
Blown away by the exceptional work the guys did. The quality of their work is outstanding. We will definitely recommend this company to our friends and family. The team worked hard all day and now we have 200 amp service, a new galvanized steel service mast, and outlets and a dryer outlet. Will definitely be our go too guys for electrical. Thank you all for doing a great job.
Stephanie Ward
I cant say enough about Mason and Mr Sparky. He was so very nice. Extremely efficient, punctual. If I ever have the need, he will be the first person I will call.
Gary Dyer
The guys were great, very personable and polite! However, when he installed the sub panel he didn't measure the width of it and cut the hole too big. He had to install scrap drywall to fill it in. Had this been a finished wall, he would have had to do the repairs and paint. Hopefully he will measure the correct size hole he needs on his next one.

Thomas was absolutely fantastic! He arrived right on time, was highly organized, and conducted a very thorough inspection. Not only did he quickly diagnose and fix my main electrical issue, but he also noticed a few other hidden problems I wasn't aware of and gave me great advice on how to handle them. Now, all of my outlets work like a charm. The price for the repair was extremely reasonable. Thank you, Mister Sparky! 👍🫡
Zachary Sellon
Daylen and Greg did a great job installing the wafer lights and relocating the outlets. They were professional, efficient, and did excellent work. Highly recommend!
Anita Edge
Chad was great! He was very personable, very knowledgeable and fixed my blown fuse in a hurry. I will certainly call him again if I need any electrical work!
Maria Nelson
Juan, Antonio, Jacob and Aiden. Also Ron, for going over all the needs service! What an awesome team! Acknowledgeable, fast, and tidied up very well at the end. I had a surge protector installed, my AC unit updated and plugs. All done in a very reasonable time! If I run into any future problems, I'm requesting you guys! Thank you so much!
Sam Malik
This company and all of their employees have been nothing less than exceptional. They replaced and upgraded our breaker box and transfer switch for our house in a day and a half. They kept us in the loop at all times, were so personable, and the price was right. 10/10
Kayla
What a tremendous experience! From start to finish, first day we had Cameron come out to assess our panel situation, which went over financing and our issues. But the real stars of the show were three men Julian, Zane, and Robert. They showed up in a timely manner on the scheduled day, and performed with expertise. Along with that they were courteous and thorough during their work. Labeling everything on the panel and even allowing me to name the areas for the breakers! Overall super fantastic work, and it would be a pleasure to have any of them return for any future projects we may need.
Guillermo van Maanen
Matt was fantastic and in general the work was extremely efficient , quick and well done. Appreciate the level of detail on installation. Dylan also great at quoting and getting a good price. Work was running a 50amp electric car charger wire and 50amp nema plug through the crawlspace, stapled to subfloor every 4 ft and also installing breakers and surge protector. They were the only company who did not recommend attic (disturbing new insulation) or trenching (extremely expensive). Really appreciate their thoughtfulness and work.
Melissa Young
Taryn came out to quote me on an exterior outlet replacement and installation of 2 new exterior outlets. He inspected my old breaker box, discussed the whole home surge protection I inquired about. He was thorough and provided multiple quotes to update various parts of my system. Will be looking at those options next spring. Appreciate his time and thoroughness today!
Lloyd Clingman
Jamieson couldn’t have done a better job. He understood the complex nature of what I needed and came up with a perfect solution and everything is working perfectly now. Excellent work.
Ashley Holder
Great customer service from Josh! Super friendly and quick to respond. Fixed all issues and clearly communicated the entire time. Highly recommend!
Santhosh
Highly recommend Sparky for all your electrical needs. Marvin & Jorge came and the appointed time and did an excellent job of installing new electric outlets. The job was done quickly and efficiently, and the premises were left very clean after their work.
Jack Edgar
Excellent service, price, and technicians. Noah went above and beyond to make sure my electrical issues were resolved correctly! Will gladly recommend Noah and Mr Sparky! Update: I kept adding services and Noah was courteous and professional about it all. Matt came and helped on one of the days Noah was here, and he showed the same high standards and professionalism shown by Noah. Both are excellent workers and a pleasure to have in my home. I would definitely recommend Mister Sparky and the complete rebuild has given me peace of mind in my home, and that, to me, is priceless.
