Project overview
Our Raleigh team completed a clean upgrade for a living area and dining space: replacing two older can lights with modern slim LED wafer fixtures over the fireplace and dining room. The work was performed by Cody Perry on April 6, 2026, for homeowner Michael Gu in Raleigh, NC.
This Lighting & Ceiling Fans project falls under our Lighting Installation services and is backed by our lifetime craftsmanship warranty.
What we installed
- 2x LED wafer fixtures replacing existing can lights over the fireplace and dining area. These low-profile fixtures deliver uniform illumination, last longer, and are ideal for narrow or shallow ceiling spaces.
- 20 feet of NM-B Romex 14/2 wiring to serve the 15‑amp lighting circuit and ensure neat, reliable connections. This included any required junction box to secure and protect terminations.
The result is a sleek, modern look with consistent light output—perfect for accenting a fireplace wall and creating an inviting dining atmosphere without the bulk of traditional recessed housings.
Why homeowners choose slim LED wafer lights
- Ultra‑slim profile fits tight or obstructed ceiling cavities where traditional cans won’t.
- Energy efficiency with bright, even illumination and reduced maintenance compared to older lamped fixtures.
- Clean aesthetic that updates living and dining areas with a modern, minimal trim.
- Reliable performance designed for long life and consistent color, enhancing focal points like fireplaces and tablescapes.
For fireplace walls and dining rooms in particular, wafer fixtures provide a balanced beam spread that highlights architectural features and improves everyday usability without glare.
How we approach lighting upgrades in Raleigh
Every home is different. Our Raleigh electricians evaluate existing openings, joist clearances, and wiring routes to select mounting locations that optimize coverage and sightlines. We plan wire paths to minimize patching, maintain accessibility, and support future service. During this project, NM‑B 14/2 cable was installed to serve the lighting load and integrate neatly with the existing control location.
From layout to final trim, our process prioritizes safety, neat workmanship, and a finish that looks like it’s always been part of the home.
