The electricians(Erwin Harold and their crew) did a wonderful job. Erwin explained step by step in details on the things they were going to work on before they did the job. They accommodated everyone in the household especially our autistic son. With all the cosmetic work that had to be done, in the end,it looked like no damage to the house was even done. Thanks to them now we have permanent power instead of partial power. We will definitely recommend them to everyone.

Erwin and Harold from Edinson Electrical Solutions visited us to work on the dishwasher, the circuit breaker panel, outlets and possible installation of a new outlet box in the basement. Erwin was very thorough. He went through all the requirements of what needed to be done and provided options for us to pick. We wound up putting in a new outlet box for the dishwasher (which he diagnosed as needing replacement). He installed a new whole house surge protector at the circuit breaker panel. He fixed a few of the troublesome outlets. We decided not to install the outlet box in the basement at this time. What was impressive was the time he spent explaining the pros and cons of what needed to be done. I appreciated the explanations. They did an outstanding job for us and not was reasonable for the work that was performed.

Jimmy Hoffman
December 9, 2025

Erwin and team were great! Provided multiple options for our project so we could decide what works best. It was a large project, upgrading 2 panels, removed 1 meter and went to 200 amps. Communication was great throughout and he made us a priority. We used Edinson for a previous project as well, we will continue to use them and would highly recommend them for a small or large project.

I live in an apartment complex where several units lost power after a tree came down during a storm on Father’s Day. It was pouring, and honestly, we thought we’d be without power for a long time. But Edinson Electrical Solutions showed up quickly and got right to work. They were professional, focused, and clearly knew what they were doing. It was impressive to see how they handled such a big job under tough conditions. Power was restored to all the apartments faster than we expected. Truly grateful for their dedication and the quality of their work.

I contacted Erwin for help with 2 sub panel installations at my residence and from the moment I called him to the moment he walked off my property it was an example of customer-first professionalism. If you want to have a quality job done, with a friendly, safe and professional electrical contractor, look no further. He handles everything from A to Z and does not consider the job done until the customer is satisfied. I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with him and his team. Outstanding service. If you choose this company, you won’t have any problems

Carlos Jarrin

I had a great experience with Edinson Electrical Solutions. They helped make my house much safer by upgrading all the smoke alarms, fixing some wiring issues with my baseboard heaters, and installing a electronic surge protector.

Thomas Charles

We recently purchased our forever home and spent hours searching for a highly reputable electrician to help us with a large project. Erwin is the epitome of professional; he came for the estimate and talked us through every viable option to make major upgrades to our VERY outdated knob and tube electrical system. He was very receptive to our input and made us feel like we put a plan together as a team. His dedication to his clients is very apparent as he followed through with all the work he said he would do within the timeframe he provided; not only that, but he went above and beyond to ensure that we were left feeling safe and secure before he wrapped things up. He completely alleviated all our initial concerns by the time the project was done and has remained in contact to make sure everything has continued running smoothly. It’s rare to find someone that genuinely cares about others in the capacity that he does with the skills to boot. Don’t just take my word for it; give him a call and I guarantee that you will have him on standby for all your current and/or future needs. Keep up the great work!!!

I’m very impressed with Edinson Co, specifically having worked with Erwin to estimate and assess an older century house’s electrical system. The process was smooth, thorough and actually enjoyable. Erwin is a down to earth guy and will have no problem keeping you aware of what needs to be done work wise, albeit very kind, funny and friendly to talk with. Never once did I feel pressured or unsure about any of his work. The process was simple enough to any homeowner; going off a general inspection and digging even deeper into whatever pops up on the report is exactly what Erwin did. His report was thoroughly informative after taking time checking for GFI circuitry and for k&t. If you have an older house and are interested in finding out what kind of projects you might encounter, Erwin definitely will shed some light on the situation. I am so grateful Erwin was referred to me, being that finding an honest and dedicated electrician is golden nowadays. Thank you so much Erwin!

Interior Lighting Installation Service

Interior lighting installation service begins with understanding how each space will be used and what lighting needs the customer has. Different rooms have different lighting requirements. Kitchens need bright general lighting plus task lighting at work surfaces. Living rooms benefit from layered lighting that supports both bright activity and soft entertaining. Bedrooms need ambient lighting plus bedside reading options. Bathrooms need bright vanity lighting along with general ceiling lighting. We discuss these needs with customers during planning so the lighting design supports actual living patterns. Edinson Electrical brings the experience to plan lighting that works well from day one.

Recessed lighting installation has become one of the most popular interior lighting choices because it provides clean ceiling appearance with effective illumination. Modern LED recessed lights replace older incandescent and CFL recessed fixtures with significantly better performance. LED recessed lights offer energy efficiency, long service life, dimming compatibility, and excellent color quality. The fixtures install in ceiling cutouts of standard sizes including four-inch, six-inch, and other sizes depending on the specific look desired. Spacing recessed lights properly produces even illumination without dark spots or excessive light at the ceiling. We plan layouts based on ceiling height, room size, and lighting goals.

New construction recessed lighting installation goes faster than retrofit installation because ceiling access is unrestricted before drywall. The fixtures install in framing with proper insulation contact ratings and IC ratings appropriate to the application. Code requires specific clearances from insulation depending on the fixture rating, with IC-rated fixtures permitted to contact insulation directly. We use fixtures that match the specific installation conditions. Wiring runs between fixtures and to switches happen with the framing exposed, providing access for clean installations. Drywall installation comes after rough wiring and fixture mounting are complete.

Retrofit recessed lighting installation in finished ceilings requires fishing wiring through walls and ceilings without major drywall damage. The technique uses old work boxes or remodel fixtures designed for installation through ceiling cutouts without attic access. We minimize cutting in finished spaces by careful planning and the use of remodel-friendly fixtures. Existing ceiling fixtures sometimes provide convenient locations for wiring access during retrofit work. We discuss the work scope with customers during planning so expectations match what we will actually do during installation.

Pendant and chandelier installation transforms dining areas, kitchens, foyers, and other spaces with focal lighting that creates visual interest. The installations require proper ceiling boxes rated for the weight of the fixture, with heavy chandeliers needing fan-rated boxes or specialty support. Long chains or rods on tall ceilings need attention to mounting security and electrical connections. Multi-light chandeliers may require larger junction boxes to accommodate the connection wiring. We handle pendant and chandelier installation with attention to both the electrical requirements and the aesthetic positioning of the fixture.

Under-cabinet lighting installation in kitchens dramatically improves countertop work surface illumination. LED strip lights or linear fixtures install under upper cabinets with hidden wiring routed through cabinet bottoms or behind cabinet backs. The lighting connects to switches or smart controls that allow turning on selected sections or the entire under-cabinet system. Dimming capability lets customers adjust light levels for different uses. Modern LED under-cabinet systems offer excellent light quality, long service life, and minimal heat output compared to older halogen or fluorescent options. We install under-cabinet lighting with hidden wiring that produces clean, professional results.

Switch and dimmer installation complements fixture installation throughout interior lighting projects. Modern smart switches and dimmers offer features that traditional toggle switches cannot provide. Smart switches with Wi-Fi connectivity allow mobile app control, scheduling, and voice control through Alexa, Google Home, and other systems. Dimmers provide flexibility for different lighting moods and energy savings during reduced light use. Three-way and four-way switching at multiple room entrances provides convenient control. We help customers select switches and dimmers that support their lifestyle and complement their lighting design.

Final installation and testing complete every interior lighting project we perform. Each fixture is installed with proper support, weatherproofing where needed, and clean electrical connections. Dimmers are programmed for the connected LED loads to prevent flickering and other compatibility issues. Smart switches are programmed with the customer’s network settings and any scheduling preferences. Switching arrangements are tested to verify proper operation from all switch locations. We walk customers through any smart features and explain how to control their new lighting effectively. Edinson Electrical leaves every lighting installation ready for daily enjoyment. Allentown customers benefit from lighting that supports their daily activities while creating the visual environment they want.

The Importance of a Licensed Electrician for Interior Lighting Installation in Allentown

Hiring a licensed electrician for interior lighting installation in Allentown matters because lighting work involves both electrical safety considerations and aesthetic outcomes that affect daily life for years. Licensed electricians understand the code requirements for lighting circuits, fixture support, junction box sizing, and switching arrangements. They also know which fixtures work best in different applications and how to handle the unique requirements of recessed lighting, chandeliers, and other specialty fixtures. Pennsylvania requires licensing for electrical work, including lighting installation. Insurance considerations apply because improperly installed lighting can cause fires when fixtures are mounted on inadequate supports, when junction boxes are oversized, or when dimmer-fixture combinations are mismatched. Smart lighting systems involve technical considerations including network configuration, dimming compatibility, and load matching that benefit from professional expertise. Real estate transactions can be affected when buyers’ inspectors flag improperly installed lighting work. Edinson Electrical is fully licensed and insured in the State of Pennsylvania with extensive interior lighting installation experience across residential and commercial applications. Our lifetime craftsmanship warranty backs every installation we complete. The investment in professional installation produces lighting that performs reliably and looks great for the long term.

Commonly Asked Interior Lighting Installation Questions

Interior lighting projects range from single fixture replacement to whole-home lighting redesigns, generating many questions from homeowners about options and approaches. The questions below cover what customers across Allentown most often ask before scheduling interior lighting work.

Interior lighting installation costs depend on the scope of work, the specific fixtures being installed, and whether new wiring is needed. Single fixture replacement at an existing location with adequate wiring is one of the more affordable electrical services. Recessed lighting installation in finished spaces costs more per fixture than new construction installation because of the retrofit work required. Whole-room lighting renovations involving multiple fixtures, new circuits, and switch upgrades represent more substantial projects.

Several factors affect lighting installation pricing significantly. The number of fixtures drives a substantial portion of total cost because each fixture involves labor for installation, connection, and testing. Recessed lighting in finished ceilings costs more than in new construction because of the careful fishing of wires required. Smart lighting and smart switch installations involve programming and configuration time beyond the basic installation. Chandeliers and heavy fixtures may require ceiling box upgrades that add to project cost. Permit fees vary by township but are typically modest relative to total project cost.

The fixtures themselves are sometimes supplied by customers and sometimes provided as part of the installation project. Customer-supplied fixtures reduce installation cost compared to projects where we supply everything. Fixture prices range widely from budget-friendly options to high-end designer pieces. We help customers select fixtures appropriate to their style preferences and budget. Edinson Electrical provides detailed written estimates that itemize labor, materials, and any fixture supply costs separately. Financing through Synchrony helps with larger lighting projects. Allentown customers value the transparent pricing that supports informed decisions.

Interior lighting installation timelines vary widely based on scope. Single fixture replacement at an existing location typically takes thirty to sixty minutes. Multiple fixture installations during the same visit go faster on average because setup and travel costs are spread across more work. Recessed lighting installation in finished ceilings takes about thirty to forty-five minutes per fixture including the retrofit work required for clean installation. Whole-room lighting renovations involving multiple fixtures, new wiring, and switch work typically take a full day or more.

New construction lighting installation goes faster than retrofit work because ceiling access is open and wiring can be pulled through framing without obstacles. The rough wiring phase happens during construction along with other electrical work. Final fixture installation happens after drywall, paint, and finish work are complete. Each phase has its own timing within the overall construction schedule.

Smart lighting installations include programming time beyond basic installation. Smart switches and dimmers need network configuration including Wi-Fi setup and integration with smart home hubs. Smart fixtures with integrated controls need their own configuration. We typically program smart systems during the installation visit so customers leave with working systems. Edinson Electrical communicates expected timelines clearly so customers can plan around the work. Allentown customers value the efficient project completion that gets their new lighting working quickly.

Different rooms benefit from different lighting approaches based on the activities that happen in each space. Kitchens need layered lighting that combines bright general illumination with task lighting at work surfaces. General lighting typically comes from recessed lights or surface-mounted fixtures spaced for even coverage. Task lighting includes under-cabinet lighting for countertop work and pendant lighting over islands or eating areas. The combination produces a kitchen that works well for both food preparation and casual gatherings.

Living areas benefit from layered lighting that supports both bright activity and soft entertaining. Recessed lighting or ceiling fixtures provide general illumination. Table and floor lamps add warm pools of light for reading and conversation. Accent lighting on art or architectural features adds visual interest. Dimmers on the various circuits allow adjusting light levels for different activities. The result is a living space that transitions easily between active daytime use and quiet evening relaxation.

Bedrooms typically need softer general lighting plus bedside reading options. Overhead fixtures provide general illumination with dimming for evening preparation. Bedside lamps or wall-mounted reading lights serve reading without disturbing a sleeping partner. Closet lighting requires specific code-compliant fixtures with appropriate clearances from clothing storage. Bathrooms need bright vanity lighting plus general overhead lighting, with attention to color rendering that supports accurate self-evaluation in the mirror. Edinson Electrical helps Allentown customers plan lighting that supports the specific way they use each room. Thoughtful planning produces lighting that improves daily life.

LED lighting offers significant advantages over older lighting technologies and has become the standard for modern installations. Energy efficiency is dramatically better than incandescent, halogen, and even fluorescent options. LED bulbs use roughly 75 percent less energy than incandescent equivalents to produce the same amount of light. Long service life means significantly less frequent bulb replacement, with quality LED bulbs lasting 15 to 25 years under typical use. The combination of efficiency and longevity produces meaningful cost savings over the lifetime of the lighting.

Light quality from modern LED bulbs has improved dramatically over the past decade. Early LED bulbs sometimes produced harsh, blue-tinted light that many people found unpleasant. Current LED bulbs offer warm color temperatures that closely match incandescent light, neutral white temperatures suitable for kitchens and bathrooms, and cool daylight temperatures for task lighting. Color rendering quality, measured by Color Rendering Index, has also improved with high-quality LEDs producing CRI values of 90 or higher that show colors accurately.

Dimming capability varies among LED products, and compatible dimmers are essential for flicker-free dimming. We help customers select LED fixtures and dimmers that work well together to avoid the flickering and humming that incompatible combinations can produce. Smart LED systems offer additional features including color changing, scheduling, and integration with smart home systems. Edinson Electrical installs LED lighting throughout interior lighting projects because the advantages are substantial. Allentown customers benefit from lighting that performs better, lasts longer, and costs less to operate than older alternatives.

Recessed lighting can be installed in most rooms, with installation requirements depending on the ceiling type and any ventilation considerations. Ceilings with attic space above are the easiest for recessed lighting installation because access from above makes wiring and fixture mounting straightforward. Ceilings without attic access can still receive recessed lighting through retrofit techniques that work entirely from below the ceiling. We assess ceiling conditions during planning to identify the best installation approach.

Several considerations affect recessed lighting installation in specific applications. Insulation contact ratings determine whether fixtures can be installed in insulated ceilings without clearances from insulation. IC-rated fixtures contact insulation directly, while non-IC fixtures need minimum clearances that often require building boxes around the fixtures. Air-tight ratings prevent air leakage between conditioned spaces and unconditioned attics or roof spaces. We select fixtures appropriate to the specific installation conditions.

Bathrooms have specific requirements for recessed lighting in damp or wet locations. Recessed fixtures directly above showers or tubs need wet-location ratings and appropriate trim. Vapor-tight trims prevent moisture intrusion into the fixture housing. We install bathroom recessed lighting with attention to these requirements. Edinson Electrical handles recessed lighting installations throughout Allentown homes including challenging installations like cathedral ceilings, sloped ceilings, and existing finished spaces. The result is clean lighting that integrates beautifully into the architecture.

Replacing existing light fixtures at existing locations typically uses the existing wiring, which simplifies installation significantly. Most fixture replacement involves disconnecting the old fixture, mounting the new fixture to the existing ceiling box, and connecting the new fixture to the existing wiring. The existing circuit and switch continue to serve the new fixture. We test the existing wiring during fixture replacement to verify proper grounding, polarity, and continuity before making new connections.

New light fixture installation at locations without existing wiring requires running new circuits or extending existing circuits. The work involves routing cable from a power source to the new fixture location, installing appropriate junction boxes, and connecting switches to control the new lighting. The complexity depends on the route from the power source to the new fixture. Accessible routes through unfinished basements or attics keep costs reasonable. Routes through finished spaces require more careful work and may involve some drywall cutting and patching.

Upgrade situations sometimes warrant new wiring even when existing wiring could technically be reused. Replacing a single ceiling fixture with multiple recessed lights or with a chandelier requiring switched and unswitched circuits often needs new wiring or rewiring. Adding dimmer functionality where standard switches existed sometimes requires upgrading wiring to support modern dimmer requirements. Old aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring sometimes warrants replacement during lighting upgrades to provide modern safety and code compliance. Edinson Electrical helps Allentown customers understand wiring options during lighting projects. The right approach balances cost, functionality, and long-term reliability.

Color temperature describes the visual character of light produced by a bulb or fixture, measured in degrees Kelvin. Lower Kelvin values produce warmer light with yellow or orange tones similar to incandescent bulbs and candlelight. Higher Kelvin values produce cooler light with white or blue tones similar to daylight. The choice between warm and cool lighting significantly affects how a space feels and how well it supports different activities.

Warm white lighting in the 2700K to 3000K range works well for living areas, bedrooms, dining rooms, and other spaces where comfort and ambiance matter. The warm tones create inviting environments that complement skin tones favorably. Most residential lighting traditionally uses warm white because of these characteristics. The warm light feels cozy in the evening and helps support relaxation. Most LED bulbs marketed as warm white fall in this color temperature range.

Cool white and daylight lighting in the 3500K to 5000K range work better for kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and task lighting applications. The cooler tones improve visibility for detailed work and provide better color rendering for activities like food preparation and personal grooming. Some people prefer cooler lighting throughout their homes for the cleaner, more modern feel it creates. Mixed color temperatures within a single space can look uncoordinated, so we typically recommend consistent color temperature within rooms. Edinson Electrical helps Allentown customers select color temperatures that match their preferences and the intended use of each space. The right choice supports the visual environment customers actually want.

Smart lighting systems allow control through smartphone apps, voice assistants, and home automation systems. The technology has matured significantly in recent years, with reliable products from major manufacturers including Lutron, Leviton, Phillips Hue, Wyze, and many others. Smart switches and dimmers replace traditional switches and allow control of any lighting connected to those circuits. Smart bulbs replace traditional bulbs with units containing their own controls that work independently of the switch.

The choice between smart switches and smart bulbs depends on the application and customer preferences. Smart switches work well for fixed lighting installations where multiple bulbs or LED fixtures are controlled by a single switch. The switch handles the smart features while standard bulbs provide the actual light. Smart bulbs work well for lamps and individual fixtures where features like color changing add value. Most installations combine smart switches for fixed lighting with smart bulbs for accent lighting and lamps.

Voice control through Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit allows hands-free operation of smart lighting. Scenes combining multiple lights at specific settings activate with voice commands or app buttons. Schedules turn lights on and off automatically based on time of day or sunrise and sunset. Geofencing turns lights off when the family leaves home and on when they return. We program smart lighting systems during installation so customers leave with working smart features. Edinson Electrical helps Allentown customers plan smart lighting that integrates with their existing smart home systems. The result is lighting that responds to how they actually want to use it.
