Project overview in Durham, NC
Touchstone Electric’s Raleigh branch completed a lighting upgrade for YMCA of the Triangle in Durham, NC on November 1, 2024. Our licensed electrician, Cody Perry, relocated wiring to the left wall of the room and installed three customer-supplied fixtures—pendant, chandelier, or ceiling light styles—on the existing boxes and circuits.
This service falls under our Lighting & Ceiling Fans category with a focus on Lighting Installation. The result is a clean, professional look that enhances both style and visibility, without the need for new circuits or panel modifications.
What we did
- Wiring relocation: We carefully took down the previous fixture setup and moved the run to the left side wall, routing the cable neatly and securely for a tidy finish.
- New cable run (existing circuit): We installed 15 feet of NM-B 14/2 Romex to extend the lighting circuit to the new location, maintaining proper support, protection, and terminations.
- Fixture installation (3 total): We mounted three customer-supplied pendant/chandelier/ceiling light fixtures on the existing boxes, ensuring secure support, correct connections, and consistent alignment.
- Function and safety checks: Each fixture was tested for proper operation on the existing switch and verified for solid connections and grounding for dependable performance.
By reusing the existing circuit and boxes, we kept the project efficient and minimally disruptive while delivering a clean, updated lighting design.
Why this upgrade matters
- Improved lighting placement: Shifting the wiring to the left wall allowed the fixtures to better serve the room’s layout and focal points.
- Neat, professional finish: NM-B 14/2 Romex was installed with attention to routing and fastening, supporting a clean aesthetic and reliable performance.
- Style and flexibility: Installing three fixtures gives layered lighting—ideal for task, ambient, and decorative needs.
- Efficient solution: Using the existing boxes and circuit avoided unnecessary panel work while still delivering a noticeable upgrade.
