Kitchen Lighting & Ceiling Fan Upgrades in Hillsborough, NC

Touchstone Electric’s Raleigh team completed a clean, code‑compliant lighting upgrade for a Hillsborough kitchen, focusing on brighter task lighting, comfortable air circulation, and simple, reliable controls. The project centered on installing low‑profile wafer can lights with a matching dimmer and setting two ceiling fan/light fixtures on existing boxes and circuits.

What We Installed

• (3) LED Wafer Can Lights: Slim, long‑lasting canless fixtures ideal for tight ceiling spaces, offering even, modern illumination without bulky housings.
• New Wall Dimmer for Wafer Lighting: Properly rated for LED loads and tuned for smooth, flicker‑free dimming and comfortable ambience for cooking, dining, or entertaining.
• (2) Ceiling Fan/Light Fixtures (Customer‑Supplied): Mounted on existing, properly supported boxes and tied into the existing circuits for efficient light and improved airflow.

Our Process

We began with a quick walkthrough to confirm fixture locations, ceiling conditions, and existing box support. After protecting nearby surfaces, our technician laid out the wafer lights for balanced coverage across the kitchen work zones.

• Verified fan‑rated boxes and secure support before hanging each fan/light fixture.
• Made neat, labeled terminations and tightened all connections to manufacturer torque guidance.
• Installed and tested the dimmer with the new LED wafer lights to ensure full range, quiet operation, and consistent light levels.
• Utilized the existing circuits and switch locations; no new circuit runs were required for this scope.
• Completed functional testing, fan balancing, and a final safety check to confirm code‑compliant performance.

When finished, we removed debris and packaging so the kitchen was ready to enjoy right away.

Results You Can See and Feel

• Brighter, Cleaner Light: Wafer cans provide an even spread that reduces shadows on counters and sinks.
• Flexible Control: The new dimmer lets the homeowner fine‑tune brightness for meal prep, gatherings, or late‑night cleanup.
• Comfortable Airflow: The ceiling fan/lights help manage cooking heat and keep the kitchen pleasant year‑round.
• Efficient and Low‑Profile: LED wafers deliver modern performance without bulky housings or trim.
