How high should a pendant hang over an island?

High enough to clear heads and sightlines, low enough to light the counter. We set the height with you before cutting the cord or chain, since it is hard to lengthen after.

Can you install a fixture I bought myself?

Yes. We check that it suits the location, a bathroom or a damp porch for example, and that the box can carry it, then install it.

Will my new LED fixture work on my old dimmer?

Not always. Older dimmers can make LED fixtures flicker or hum. We check the dimmer and swap it for one made for LED when it needs it.

Light Fixture Installation San Antonio

The part of a fixture you see is the easy part. What matters is the box it hangs from and the wiring behind it. A heavy chandelier on a box rated for a small light is how fixtures sag or fall, so we check the box against the fixture's weight and replace or brace it when it falls short.

We hang new fixtures where there were none, swap old ones for new, set pendants at the right height over an island or a table, and center vanity lights over a mirror. Dimmers are matched to the bulbs the fixture takes.

FAQ

Common questions

Straight answers. If you do not see yours, call us and ask.

Only if the box is rated for its weight. Many boxes are made for light fixtures of a few pounds. For a heavy chandelier we fit a box and brace rated to carry it.
