Lighting Installation and Switch Replacement in Matthews, NC

Touchstone Electric completed a clean, code-compliant lighting upgrade for Re-Bath Charlotte in Matthews, NC on November 20, 2025. Led by our technician Tyquan Johnson from our Charlotte business unit and serviced by our Matthews branch team, this project focused on efficient fixture upgrades and a safe, reliable switch replacement on existing wiring.

The scope included installing two customer-supplied pendant/ceiling fixtures and replacing a standard light switch. Everything was completed on the existing boxes and circuits, with no new wiring required.

What We Did

Standard switch replacement: Removed the existing device and installed a new 2-way/3-way/4-way compatible light switch on existing wiring. All terminations were tightened to manufacturer torque specs and verified for proper orientation.
Two medium fixture installs: Mounted customer-supplied pendant/ceiling fixtures to the existing junction boxes and circuits. We leveled, secured, and aligned canopies and shades for a crisp, finished look.
Code-compliant connections: Confirmed grounded bonding path, secure wirenut terminations, and correct neutral/hot polarity. All fixtures were supported by rated boxes and hardware.
Testing and verification: Restored power, tested switch operation and fixture performance, and checked for flicker, noise, or overheating. Final walk-through ensured everything functioned as intended.
Jobsite care: Protected working surfaces, contained debris, and left the area clean upon completion.

How We Ensure Safety and Quality

Lighting and switching equipment must be installed with attention to electrical code and manufacturer instructions. On this Matthews project, we:

Verified the junction boxes were rated and properly fastened for pendant/ceiling fixture loads.
Used listed connectors and appropriate gauge conductors for all terminations on existing wiring.
Checked grounding continuity and ensured bonding to the fixture strap where required.
Confirmed secure support, correct wire polarity, and made neat, accessible splices within the box.
Performed functional testing on the new switch and both fixtures to validate performance.

The result was a safe, tidy upgrade that looks great and operates as expected.
