We serve older homes, apartments, shops, and large work sites in San Bernardino. Pre-1980 homes may need wiring checks before new lights go in. Our crew checks the panel, maps the circuit, and picks the right light type. We may install LED lights, recessed lighting, wall lights, or high-bay fixtures. A load calculation checks whether the circuit can carry the added demand. California rules may require a permit and inspection for new wiring.

Five Stages for New Light Work
Panel Load Calculation
A load calculation checks present demand and added fixture load. The result shows whether a circuit or panel change is needed.
Circuit Tracing and Isolation
Circuit tracing finds the correct source and identifies shared loads. Isolation helps keep work safe during wiring.
Permit Pull and Rough-In
A permit pull covers required local review, while rough-in work places boxes and cable. The wall finish can follow the approved layout.
Fixture Test and Final Check
Testing and verification checks switches, dimmers, grounding, and fixture output. A final inspection may close the permit.

Lighting Installation FAQ
How Can I Prevent Lighting Faults During Hot Summers?
Summer lighting faults often need panel and connection checks before fixture changes. Hot San Bernardino weather can raise total home power use.
- Clean dust from accessible fixtures.
- Use rated LED lamps and dimmers.
- Check warm switches or flicker early.
Do not add lights to a crowded circuit without a load calculation.
Which Permits Can New Light Wiring Require?
New fixed wiring may require a permit and inspection from the local authority. The need depends on the work scope and property type.
- Fixture-only swaps may follow different rules.
- New cable runs can need permit review.
- Rough-in and final checks may apply.
We identify the likely permit path before wall or ceiling work begins.
Why Do LED Lights Flicker with My Dimmer?
LED flicker often comes from a dimmer that does not match the fixture driver. A circuit test can separate control faults from loose wiring.
- Check the fixture rating.
- Check the dimmer compatibility.
- Test voltage and connections.
Replacing bulbs alone may hide the cause for a short time.
