Lighting Installation in Broken Arrow and Tulsa

Lighting installation in Broken Arrow and Tulsa

New lighting changes how a room feels faster than almost anything else. Hot Shot Electric Service Co. handles lighting installation for homes in Broken Arrow, Tulsa and the surrounding towns: chandeliers in tall entries, recessed lighting, wall sconces, vanity lights, bathroom fan and light combinations, closet lights and simple fixture swaps. Every fixture is mounted to a box rated for its weight and wired so the switches do what you expect.

A grandparent had us add light to a grandson's dark bedroom. Another homeowner had two wall sconces installed and said the crew did a perfect job. Small projects are welcome. You do not have to be remodeling the house for us to come hang one fixture.

Recessed lighting in an existing ceiling

Recessed lights can go into most existing ceilings without tearing them out. We lay out the spacing for even light, check for joists, ducts and insulation, use fixtures rated for insulation contact where needed, and run them on a dimmer so the room can go from task light to evening light. The result is a ceiling with clean, even light instead of one fixture in the middle.

LED upgrades

Switching to LED fixtures and bulbs cuts energy use and heat, and modern LEDs come in warm color temperatures that look like the incandescent light most people prefer. If an LED flickers or hums, the dimmer is usually the reason, and we install dimmers matched to the fixture.

Switches and controls

Lighting is only pleasant when the switch is where your hand goes. We add switches at the other end of a hall or stairway, convert single switches to three-way, install dimmers and timers, and fix the mystery switch that controls nothing. One customer had outdoor ceiling fans that came on by themselves in the middle of the night. The crew traced how a previous electrician had wired them, rewired them, and the fans finally did what the switch said.

Kitchens, patios and the yard

Kitchen lighting has its own page because it is usually tied to a remodel and new circuits. See kitchen lighting and remodel electrical. Outside, we install patio and porch lighting, security lights and full landscape lighting systems. Covered patios usually get a fan as well; see ceiling fan installation.

Bathroom lighting and exhaust fans

Bathrooms need good light at the mirror and an exhaust fan that actually moves moisture out of the house. We replace vanity lights, install fan and light combinations, and fix the fans that hum but do not move air. A customer who had a light fixture and two bathroom fans installed said the final cost came in under the original estimate.

Exterior and security lighting

Porch lights, garage lights, motion-sensing floodlights and lighting over the driveway make coming home after dark safer. Exterior fixtures need weatherproof boxes, the right gaskets and, where code calls for it, GFCI protection. We mount them solidly on brick, stone or siding, and set motion sensors so they catch the driveway, not every passing car.

Fixing lights that misbehave

Not every lighting call is a new fixture. A vent light that stayed on no matter what the switch did, lights that flicker on one circuit, a switch nobody can trace: these are wiring problems, and they get the same diagnosis as any other electrical issue. We find the cause, show you, and price the fix before doing it.

Planning lighting for a whole room

When you are redoing a room, think in layers: general light from the ceiling, task light where you read, cook or work, and accent light on what you want to show off. Putting each layer on its own switch or dimmer is what makes a room feel right at different times of day. We will help you lay it out and tell you what it takes to get the switches where you want them.

Energy and heat

Old incandescent and halogen fixtures turn most of their power into heat, which is noticeable in a kitchen full of cans or a bathroom vanity in July. LED fixtures run cooler and use a fraction of the power, which lightens the load on the air conditioner as well as the electric bill. Quality LEDs with a warm color temperature give the soft look most people want at home.

How it works

1. Tell us what you want to light and send a photo of the fixture if you have one.
2. We quote planned lighting work up front. Estimates for planned work are free.
3. The journeyman installs the boxes, fixtures and switches and tests everything.
4. We clean up and walk you through the switches before we leave.

Fixtures you buy are installed as supplied, and any fixtures or parts we supply carry our one-year warranty on manufactured items.

Lighting work is scheduled around you during business hours, and most single-fixture jobs fit in part of a morning. If you have several fixtures in different rooms, we group them into one visit so you are not paying for the trip twice. The crew protects floors and furniture under the ladder and takes the packaging away when they leave.
