Home is where the heart is. That’s why careful attention goes into every part of selecting where we live, and how we decorate to best suit our individual tastes. Having a well-lit home nurtures a subtle feeling of warmth and togetherness.
Lighting is one of the most critical selections for a residence in order to ensure we properly illuminate all facets of our daily routines. Blue Bolt offers numerous fixture installation that are ideal for residential applications.
Light Fixture Installation
The wide variety of lighting options can satisfy your needs for both form and function. Whether general or task lighting to get the job done or delicate accent lighting to create the perfect atmosphere, the right fixture can shed a whole new light on any room of your home.
However, installing a light fixture is no small task. The project requires working with electricity, which can be hazardous. A licensed electrician can install your new lighting, whether you’re simply replacing a fixture or running power to a whole new site. A pro knows how to install a light fixture correctly and quickly according to local codes. With a qualified electrician on the job, you’ll be enjoying your new light fixture in no time.
How long does it take to install a light fixture:
It can take 1-2 hours to install a standard light fixture, but installing wiring to a new site may take up to a full day. The time needed to install a fixture varies, depending on its location and the difficulty of running and connecting wires and switches. High ceilings and difficult-to-access electrical panels can complicate the installation and extend the time needed for the project.
Do I need an electrician to install a light fixture:
Unless you have previous electrical experience, you should always hire a licensed electrician for any electrical project, including installing a light fixture. Regardless of whether your new light fixture is being installed in a spot that’s already wired or if new wiring and switches will be needed to complete the job, a licensed electrician will ensure the job is done correctly and safely.
Benefits of Installing Lighting Fixtures

Ambiance: Adding a lighting fixture improves your home’s appearance without the cost of a major redesign. Different lighting fixtures can complement your space in new and exciting ways and create an inviting atmosphere.
