Recessed Lighting Installation in Central New Jersey
Clean, Modern Lighting Solutions for Every Room
Recessed lighting is one of the most popular upgrades for homeowners seeking a clean, modern look without the bulk of traditional fixtures. At North East Home Services, we offer professional recessed lighting installation for homes throughout Monmouth, Middlesex, Somerset, and Mercer Counties. Whether you’re remodeling your kitchen, finishing a basement, or simply updating outdated lighting, our licensed electricians can help you achieve the sleek, high-performance lighting your space deserves.
Also known as can lights, pot lights, high hats, or downlights, recessed lighting is installed directly into the ceiling for a low-profile appearance and wide-angle illumination. These fixtures work well in nearly any room and are ideal for creating ambient light, highlighting architectural features, or providing focused task lighting. With dozens of trim styles, sizes, and bulb types available—including energy-efficient LEDs—recessed lights are both functional and stylish.
Our Team Handles All Aspects of Recessed Lighting Installation, Including:
- New Recessed Lighting Installation: We install new can lights in ceilings with attic access or open framing, planning layout and spacing to provide even, attractive light coverage.
- Retrofit and Remodel Lighting: For finished ceilings, we use special low-profile fixtures that can be installed without damaging drywall or requiring major renovation.
- LED Upgrades: We replace outdated recessed fixtures with modern LED trims that offer longer life, lower energy consumption, and improved color temperature options.
- Dimmer Switch Installation: We install compatible dimmer switches so you can adjust brightness levels for comfort and mood.
- Accent and Task Lighting Design: We help homeowners design lighting zones that balance general lighting with focused task and feature lighting in kitchens, offices, and living spaces.
Recessed lighting offers several benefits for homeowners. First, the clean, flush design allows ceilings to appear higher and rooms to feel larger. Second, recessed lights can be spaced evenly across a room for balanced illumination or directed toward walls, countertops, or artwork for added visual interest. Finally, modern LED recessed lights are cool to the touch, highly energy-efficient, and available in adjustable color temperatures ranging from warm to daylight tones.
We Install All Major Lighting Brands, Including:
- Halo
- Lithonia Lighting
- Juno
- Commercial Electric
- Nicor

Whether you’re updating a single room or incorporating recessed lighting throughout your entire home, we work closely with you to determine the right fixture placement, trim style, and lighting temperature. We make sure the final result is practical, attractive, and built to last.
Some of the Most Common Areas Where Homeowners Install Recessed Lighting Include:
- Kitchens – for general lighting and over-island task lighting
- Living rooms – for layered lighting and entertainment spaces
- Hallways – for clean lines and consistent illumination
- Bathrooms – including shower-rated recessed fixtures
- Basements – to maximize ceiling height and brightness
- Home offices – for glare-free, focused lighting
When installed correctly, recessed lights offer years of maintenance-free operation. Our electricians ensure each light is positioned correctly for beam spread, installed with the proper housing and trim, and wired safely to meet all local codes. For homeowners looking to upgrade an older lighting system, we can often use existing wiring and junction boxes to reduce installation time and costs.
If you’re dealing with dim, uneven lighting or bulky fixtures that no longer match your décor, recessed lighting could be the perfect solution. We can walk you through the planning process, recommend fixture styles and brands, and complete a clean, code-compliant installation with minimal disruption to your home.
