Lighting Installation & LED Upgrades Completed in Charlotte, NC

On March 21, 2025, our Charlotte branch completed a lighting project for homeowner Patricia Kracke. Led by technician Clay Barnette, the job focused on making key areas brighter, safer, and more efficient with a mix of new lighting and an LED conversion.

This Charlotte, NC service visit included an under-cabinet light strip with the correct transformer, converting a fluorescent fixture to LED by updating the ballast/driver, and installing a new light fixture in a utility/water-heater room. The result: cleaner light, lower maintenance, and improved visibility where it matters most.

What We Did

Under-cabinet lighting: Installed a low-profile light strip and matched transformer for consistent, flicker-free task lighting on the existing kitchen circuit.
Ballast replacement to LED: Converted a fluorescent fixture to LED operation by updating the ballast/driver at standard height, improving efficiency and eliminating flicker and warm-up time.
New fixture installation: Mounted and wired a customer-supplied light fixture on the existing ceiling box/circuit in the water-heater room for dependable, even illumination.

All work was completed neatly and safely by our Charlotte team, with care to protect surrounding finishes and confirm proper operation before leaving.

Why This Upgrade Was a Smart Move

Brighter, clearer light: Under-cabinet LEDs put light exactly where you prep, read, and cook—reducing shadows on counters.
Energy savings: LED technology uses significantly less energy than comparable fluorescent lighting.
Less maintenance: Long LED lifespans help cut down on bulb replacements and service calls.
Quieter, cleaner operation: Replacing or bypassing older fluorescent ballasts helps eliminate buzzing and flicker.
Improved safety: A properly installed utility-room fixture boosts visibility around appliances and equipment.
