If you want professional lighting installation in Cincinnati, working with a qualified electrician from the start can prevent missteps and save money.
If you’re in the design or renovation stage, now’s the time to map out your strategy. It’s far easier to run wires and plan lighting fixture installation before walls are sealed and ceilings are finished. Quality lighting design requires coordination between your general contractor, your electrician, and you as the homeowner. Think about what kind of activities take place in each room and what lighting those activities require. In kitchens, layered lighting works best. You might want recessed overhead lights, pendant lights over the island, and under-cabinet lighting to illuminate counters. Bathrooms need a mix of task lighting and ambient light. Bedrooms benefit from dimmable lights and possibly wall sconces. During the planning stage, you’ll want to:
Many people overlook the condition of surge protectors and power strips. These wear out over time and can quietly become hazards, especially if they're overloaded or tucked away under furniture.
Planning all of this before drywall goes up gives you the freedom to install the right lighting without expensive changes later. Whether it’s a whole-house build or a kitchen remodel, including lighting early in the process leads to better results.
Lighting should highlight your design, but too often, homeowners choose lighting last, after furniture, paint, and décor are already in place. With new lighting fixtures, you’ll need to choose the right scale, style, and brightness to match your room. In a minimalist space, bulky chandeliers might feel out of place. In a cozy cottage, sleek track lights could feel too industrial. Interior designers recommend thinking in three layers:
Working with a professional will make sure that your new installation looks good and works cohesively with the rest of your interior plans.
At first, you might think about installing a few fixtures yourself, especially when videos online make it look so simple. It’s important to keep in mind that small jobs can hide big risks. Most DIY lighting projects go wrong in a few predictable ways:
If you’ve attempted a DIY project that didn’t turn out as planned or if you're dealing with persistent flickering or tripped breakers, it’s time to call in a pro. We provide reliable lighting repair and lighting replacement services.

I called into Mr. Electric of Cincinnati West and was greeted by Greg. He was super polite and asked how he could help. He walked me through rewiring this antique fixture in my dining room and got me through mounting it with no issues at all. Greg was extremely helpful and patient and I will definitely be using him and his team again in the future!!
Greg's team is the best! Mr. Electric are responsive, dependable, professional and work with a sense of urgency. Mr. Electric is our dedicated electriation from now on. We had an emergency outage day before New years Eve. Greg responded to my request within minutes, and the crew came out to my house within 2 hrs. We were out of state, and Greg kept us informed of the progress every step of the way. We later on has to work with insurance and Greg provided all the paper work, and even talked to our insurance to help us get the coverage. James and Nicolas worked day and night on the new years Eve and New years day to help get the electricity back. We were able to spend the new years Eve at home all thanks to Nicolas and James's hard work.
We had a bad wind storm, a tree fell on my neighbors property and it managed to completely rip out the power supply to our building. James and Nick came out and assured me that they could fix it in a timely manner. That was an understatement! They were so kind, professional and caring (I have a mentally disabled child and they understood my frustrations) they had my power supply reconnected to the building and the power back on by the very next day! (NEW YEARS EVE!) Saving me a TON of money on food and shelter expenses (due to cold temperatures outside)! Hero's in real life don't wear capes, they do their jobs with compassion for others. Thank you James and Nick #Grateful on Elm Park Dr.
James did a super job. He went above and beyond to replace the outlet for my oven. Also, he changed difficult to reach light bulbs in my stairwell and upgraded the light switch. Finally, Greg efforts to find time to squeeze me in for a last minute appointment on a busy holiday weekend. I appreciate both of them and the work they did. More importantly, I felt like they treated me as if I were part of their family.
