Get the Most for Your Money

Although lighting fixture installation is a relatively small home improvement task, it is best done by a professional and licensed electrician -- for the sake of your personal safety and your home's compliance with local building code. Since any light installation will require you to be dealing with electric wires and currents, there is a chance of electrical injury so use caution if you elect to not utilize an electrician nearby. Save money on multiple service calls by scheduling several upgrades and/or repairs for your licensed electrician to do in one session.

Before you order any new fixture, make sure that it is compatible with your home's existing wiring and that it will fit into the space available.
