Upgrading or installing new lighting fixtures requires some technical skill, but with the right steps, it’s an achievable task. Here’s how DireX Handyman Pros handles lighting fixture installations:


  1. Consultation & Planning The first step in any lighting upgrade is determining your needs. We’ll meet with you to discuss the types of lighting you want in your space, as well as the style, functionality, and efficiency you desire. Whether you need task lighting for the kitchen, ambient lighting for the living room, or accent lighting for artwork, we’ll plan out the best options for your home.

  2. Choose the Right Fixtures There’s an array of lighting options available, from recessed lighting and pendant lights to chandeliers and sconces. We’ll help you choose the fixtures that match your home’s style and meet your specific needs. We can also recommend energy-efficient LED fixtures or dimmable options for added versatility.

  3. Turn Off the Power Safety is always our top priority. Before installing or upgrading any lighting fixture, we’ll ensure the power to the circuit is turned off to prevent electrical accidents. Our licensed technicians follow all necessary safety procedures to guarantee the job is done correctly and safely.

  4. Remove Old Fixtures (If Necessary) If you're replacing old fixtures, we’ll carefully remove them, making sure to disconnect all wiring safely. We’ll inspect the existing wiring to ensure it’s up to code and ready for the new fixture installation.

  5. Install New Lighting Fixtures With the wiring in place, we’ll install your new lighting fixtures according to manufacturer instructions. Whether it’s ceiling-mounted, wall-mounted, or recessed lighting, we’ll ensure everything is securely fixed and properly connected. Our team will take extra care to ensure that the fixture is level and positioned correctly.

  6. Test the New Lights Once the new fixture is installed, we’ll test it to ensure everything is working properly. We’ll check the connections and make sure that the light turns on, operates correctly, and provides the desired amount of illumination. If you’ve chosen a dimmable light, we’ll test the dimmer functionality to ensure smooth adjustments.

  7. Clean-Up After installation, we’ll clean up the area, removing any debris or packaging. We’ll also make sure the area around the new fixtures is spotless, leaving your home as neat as we found it.

  8. Final Adjustment & Settings If necessary, we’ll make any final adjustments to the fixture’s positioning and settings, including light bulbs and dimming features. We can also provide advice on how to optimize your lighting for maximum efficiency and effect.
