Kitchen Pendant & Canless Lighting Installation in Blacksburg, SC

Touchstone Electric’s Greenville team, based in Taylors, completed a clean, modern kitchen lighting upgrade for homeowner Bridget McLaughlin in Blacksburg, SC. On October 14, 2025, Technician: Tyler Harris installed three customer-supplied pendant lights and added four canless LED wafer lights, transforming the kitchen with brighter, more even illumination and a contemporary look.

Project overview

3 Pendant Lights Installed: Mounted above the kitchen counter using the homeowner’s fixtures and the existing switch for convenient control.
4 Canless LED Wafer Lights Added: Low-profile fixtures ideal for tight or shallow ceiling cavities, delivering long-lasting, energy-efficient light.
New 14/2 NM-B Wiring (Approx. 75 ft): Routed to tie into the existing 15-amp lighting circuit, with junction boxes added where required.
Existing Circuit Utilized: No new breaker was added; switching and power were organized around the current layout for a neat finish.

This Lighting & Ceiling Fans project focused on efficient lighting installation practices to enhance task lighting at the island/counter and improve overall ambient lighting across the kitchen.

Why canless wafer lights?

Canless LED wafer fixtures are a smart option when ceiling space is limited or you want a sleek, modern aesthetic. They deliver impressive brightness without the bulk of traditional housings, and the integrated LED design is built for longevity. In this Blacksburg kitchen, the four wafers supplied even coverage with minimal ceiling disturbance—perfect for retrofits and upgrades where you want clean lines and reduced maintenance.

Low profile: Fits where standard recessed cans won’t.
Long-lasting LEDs: Fewer lamp changes and consistent light output.
Even illumination: Reduces shadows and dark spots common in older kitchens.
Modern style: A streamlined, contemporary finish that pairs well with new pendants.

Professional wiring and code-conscious installation

To support the new layout, our electrician ran approximately 75 feet of 14/2 NM-B cable suitable for 15-amp lighting circuits. Junction boxes were installed as needed for safe splices and accessible connections. The pendants were tied into the existing switch to keep operation intuitive, and the new wafer lights were integrated neatly into the kitchen’s current electrical plan for a tidy, reliable result.

Every connection was secured with proper terminations, strain relief, and labeling where appropriate. Attention to detail at the rough-in and finish stages ensures dependable performance and a polished appearance with flush trims, tight canopy fittings, and consistent fixture alignment over the counter.

Results for this Blacksburg kitchen

Brighter workspace: Targeted pendant lighting over prep and dining areas.
Balanced ambient light: Four wafer lights smooth out overall illumination.
Clean ceiling lines: Low-profile LEDs without bulky cans.
