LED Recessed Lighting and Photocell Installation in Matthews, NC

Our Lighting & Ceiling Fans team completed a detailed lighting upgrade for homeowner Cindy Rosenthal in Matthews, NC. Led by technician Ben Lively from our Charlotte branch, this Lighting Installation project modernized interior lighting, improved exterior convenience, and refreshed existing fixtures for a clean, energy-efficient result.

Date completed: June 11, 2025

Project Scope at a Glance

  • Supplied and installed eight (8) new 4-inch recessed lights with the necessary wiring for clean, even room illumination.
  • Added eight (8) 6-inch LED wafer retrofit trims to upgrade existing recessed cans to efficient, modern LED performance.
  • Installed a dusk-to-dawn photocell for the front porch recessed lights to automate nighttime lighting.
  • Hung and wired three (3) customer-supplied fixtures (ceiling fan/light and simple light fixtures) on existing boxes/circuits.
  • Ran approximately 30 feet of NM-B 14/2 cable to support the new lighting layout, providing a tidy, integrated finish.
  • Provided returning-customer care for Cindy as a valued repeat client.

Why Choose LED Recessed and Wafer Retrofits

LED recessed lights deliver bright, consistent illumination while using far less energy than older lamp types. The slim, low-profile design creates a modern look that blends with any interior style and helps reduce maintenance with long-lasting performance.

For this Matthews project, wafer retrofit trims were a smart way to update existing recessed cans without a full replacement. Wafer retrofits are ultra-thin and versatile, making them a great fit where space is tight. The result is a clean ceiling appearance, reduced heat output, and reliable, flicker-free light that’s ideal for living areas, kitchens, and hallways.

Automatic Porch Lighting with a Dusk-to-Dawn Photocell

To enhance convenience and curb appeal, we set the front porch recessed lights on a dusk-to-dawn photocell. This sensor turns the lights on automatically at sunset and off at sunrise—no switch flipping required. Homeowners appreciate this hands-off reliability for welcoming guests, improving nighttime visibility, and reducing unnecessary energy use when daylight returns.
