Indoor Lighting in St. Louis

Recessed lighting is one of the most common requests we see, and it is one where the details matter most. Fixture placement, spacing, beam angle, and trim style all affect the end result, and compatibility between the fixture and the dimmer switch is a frequent source of problems when the work is not done carefully. LED recessed fixtures require dimmers specifically rated for LED loads. Pairing them with a standard incandescent dimmer results in flickering, buzzing, or a limited dimmer range, which becomes apparent the moment the switch is flipped. 

Ceiling fans with integrated lighting add a different consideration: a fan with a light kit typically needs a two-conductor switch leg to control the fan and light independently, which older switch wiring may not provide. Our team assesses what is in place before any installation begins, so the finished result works as intended.

Lighting Upgrades That Make a Difference

Dimmer switch installation is one of the most impactful and cost-effective upgrades available. The ability to adjust light levels in a dining room, bedroom, or living space changes how those rooms get used throughout the day and evening. Compatibility with the fixture type is critical for LED fixtures, and our team can confirm the match before any dimmer is installed. 

Under-cabinet lighting in kitchens improves both task lighting and overall ambiance without requiring significant electrical work in most cases. Hardwired under-cabinet fixtures are a cleaner solution than plug-in alternatives and do not occupy outlet space.

If your home has a mix of fixture ages and types, ungrounded light circuits, or switches that control outlets rather than overhead fixtures, Potts Electric can document the whole picture during a safety inspection and help you prioritize what to address.
