Recessed lighting installation
Recessed lighting is a popular choice because it gives you a clean look without bulky fixtures hanging into the room. These lights sit flush with the ceiling, making them ideal for modern spaces, low ceilings, finished basements, kitchens, hallways, bathrooms, and open-concept living areas. When placed correctly, recessed lights create even coverage and reduce dark spots.
We help determine the right number of lights, proper spacing, beam spread, trim style, switch control, and placement based on how you use the room. We also consider ceiling height, room size, insulation conditions, existing wiring, and whether the space needs task lighting, ambient lighting, or accent lighting. This helps avoid a layout that looks good on paper but does not perform well in real life.
Custom lighting solutions
Custom lighting gives you more control over the mood and function of a space. We install lighting systems tailored to the room, the architecture, and your preferences. That may include combining recessed lights with decorative fixtures, dimmers, under-cabinet lights, wall lighting, or dedicated accent lighting. Our goal is to create a finished result that feels intentional, practical, and attractive.
For residential customers, custom lighting can improve kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, home offices, dining rooms, entertainment areas, and outdoor transition spaces. For commercial clients, we can help create bright, professional lighting for work areas, customer-facing spaces, offices, showrooms, and other interior environments where visibility and appearance matter.
LED lighting options
Many recessed and custom lighting projects today use LED technology. LED lighting is energy efficient, long lasting, and available in a wide range of color temperatures and brightness levels. We can help you choose lighting that gives you the look you want, whether that means warm and comfortable lighting for a living area or crisp, bright lighting for kitchens, workspaces, and commercial settings.
We also install dimmable lighting options when compatible, giving you more control over brightness throughout the day. This can improve comfort, reduce energy use, and make one room work better for different activities.
New work, remodels, and lighting upgrades
We provide recessed and custom lighting installation for new construction, remodeling projects, and existing spaces that need an upgrade. If you are opening up a ceiling during a renovation, we can help plan wiring and fixture placement early so the finished room looks polished and works well. If your space is already finished, we can assess access, wiring paths, and installation options to complete the work as efficiently as possible.
We also replace outdated lighting systems with cleaner, more efficient solutions. Many older homes and commercial properties have poor light distribution, limited switching options, or fixtures that do not match the space anymore. A lighting upgrade can make the room feel newer, brighter, and more useful without a full rebuild.
Our installation process
We start by learning what you want from the space. We look at the room layout, existing electrical system, ceiling type, switch locations, and any limitations that may affect the installation. Then we recommend a practical plan that fits your lighting goals, timeline, and budget.
During installation, we focus on safe wiring, neat workmanship, proper fixture support, and code-compliant methods. We test the system, confirm operation, and make sure the finished installation looks clean and performs as expected. We respect your property and work to keep the project on time and within budget.
Why professional installation matters
Lighting is not just about cutting holes in a ceiling and adding fixtures. Proper installation requires electrical knowledge, careful planning, load considerations, switch leg design, code compliance, and attention to layout. Poorly placed lights can create glare, shadows, uneven light, and disappointing results. Unsafe wiring can create serious hazards.
When you hire BK Electrical Solutions, you get experienced electricians who understand both the technical side and the visual side of lighting design. We install lighting that is built to perform safely and look right in the finished space.

Recessed & Custom Lighting Installation FAQs
Here are the questions we hear most often from homeowners and business owners in the Pittsburgh area when they’re planning new recessed lighting or custom light fixtures.
- What is the benefit of recessed lighting compared to standard light fixtures?
Recessed lighting gives your space a clean, modern look and spreads light evenly across the room. It works well in kitchens, living rooms, basements, offices, and bathrooms. Because the fixtures sit flush with the ceiling, they save visual space and help a room feel more open. At BK Electrical Solutions, we also design custom lighting layouts so you get the right brightness, placement, and style for your space.
- Can you install recessed lighting in an existing ceiling, or is it only for new construction?
We install recessed lighting in both existing homes and new construction projects. If you are remodeling or updating one room, we can add can lights or wafer lights without needing a full renovation. We’ll inspect the ceiling, wiring access, insulation, and circuit load first so we can recommend the best installation method and keep the work safe and code-compliant.
- How do I know how many recessed lights I need?
That depends on the size of the room, ceiling height, wall color, furniture layout, and how you use the space. A kitchen, for example, needs different lighting than a bedroom or home office. We help you plan the right spacing and fixture locations so the room is not too dark, too bright, or full of harsh shadows. Our goal is to give you balanced lighting that looks great and works well every day.
- Will installing recessed or custom lighting damage my ceiling or walls?
We always work carefully to keep disruption to a minimum. In most cases, only small, precise openings are needed for the fixtures and wiring. We plan the layout before we cut anything, and we use proven installation methods to avoid unnecessary damage. As an experienced electrician serving Allegheny, Fayette, Greene, Washington, and Westmoreland counties, we focus on clean workmanship and professional results.
- Is recessed lighting safe?
Yes, when it is installed correctly by a qualified electrician. Safe lighting installation means using the right fixtures, proper wiring, correct clearances, and making sure the electrical load is handled properly. At BK Electrical Solutions, all work is completed to meet National Electrical Code standards. That gives you peace of mind that your lighting is not just attractive, but also safe and reliable.
- How much does recessed or custom lighting installation cost?
The cost depends on the number of lights, the type of fixtures, ceiling access, switch or dimmer upgrades, and whether new wiring is needed. We provide clear, honest pricing based on your space and your goals. As a family-owned and operated company, we believe in quality work delivered on time and within budget. If you’re ready to upgrade your home or business lighting, call BK Electrical Solutions at (724) 678-5809 to schedule an estimate.
Why Homeowners Recommend BK Electrical
Real feedback on clean work, clear communication, and lighting and electrical jobs done right
Very professional and completed work in a timely manner.
I highly recommend BK Electrical Solutions! They replaced all receptacles that weren’t up to code and installed some new breakers in the electrical panel. Very professional and explained the process clearly. I feel very confident that we are now up to code and will pass the inspection.
Brandon was recommended by our agent when we bought our house. We had a fuse box that needed removed and updated. An outlet added for a sump pump and outlets upgraded in our kitchen as well as outlets added for stove and refrigerator that was being relocated. Brandon also moved a 3 gang switch outlet to another wall. His price was very reasonable. His work was quick, clean and exactly as quoted. He also communicated effectively. Brandon is also trustworthy as he was left alone at the home while he completed work. I would highly recommend BK Electrical Solutions and would use him for future projects.
