The first stage is the design. This is where you’ll decide what you want to accomplish and determine the type and amount of lights required for your space. Measurements will be taken, and then the design will be drafted. Since pot lights are installed directly in the ceiling to create a flush and clean line, your contractor will have to take a look and assess whether there is enough space above the ceiling for the wiring. If you don’t have the space, a ceiling renovation might be required to create an open joist for the wiring. Once you have the space required, holes will be inserted in the ceiling and your electrician will then run the wires to establish the switch box and suitable circuit. It’s important that only a professional electrician sets up your pot lights to avoid overloading the circuit or a blown fixture.
