LED pot lights
Pot Light Installation Grimsby
Slim LED pot lights laid out for even light, installed through small openings with minimal mess.
Brighter rooms without bulky fixtures
Pot lights give a room clean, even light without fixtures hanging from the ceiling. Today's slim LED pot lights don't need a large housing, so they fit in most ceilings, including under insulation when you use the right rated model.
The key is the layout. Lights spaced too far apart leave dark patches, and lights too close to walls cause glare. We plan the spacing for each room before cutting anything.
Where pot lights work best
Kitchens
Even light over counters and work areas, often paired with under-cabinet lighting.
Living rooms
Soft overall light on a dimmer, so the room works for both movies and cleaning.
Basements
Low ceilings look higher without hanging fixtures.
Exterior soffits
Wet-rated pot lights in soffits to light the front of the house and walkways.

Picking the right pot lights
Colour temperature
Warm white (2700K to 3000K) suits living rooms and bedrooms. Neutral white (3500K to 4000K) works well in kitchens and workspaces. Some lights let you switch.
Size
Four-inch lights give a cleaner look. Six-inch lights spread light wider, so you need fewer.
Dimmers
LED-compatible dimmers avoid flicker and buzzing, and let one room work for different times of day.
How Much Does Pot Light Installation Cost?
Pot lights typically cost about $150 to $300 per light installed, and a project of 10 to 20 lights often runs about $1,500 to $5,000. The price depends on attic access, ceiling type, the lights you choose and whether a new switch or dimmer is needed.
Pot Light Installation questions
How many pot lights do I need?
It depends on the room size and ceiling height. We plan the spacing so the light is even without overdoing it.
Can pot lights go in a ceiling with insulation?
Yes, with IC-rated lights made for contact with insulation.
Will there be a lot of drywall damage?
No. Most installs only need the hole for each light. Occasionally a small access hole is needed to route wiring.
Can I put pot lights on a dimmer?
Yes. We use LED-compatible dimmers so the lights dim smoothly without flicker.
