About this recessed lighting project in Charlotte
Touchstone Electric’s Charlotte team completed a clean, efficient recessed lighting upgrade for homeowner David Little in Charlotte, NC. Led by technician Christian Cedillos, we installed four new recessed can lights in each room we serviced, added dedicated wall switches for convenient control, and ran new 14/2 NM-B Romex wiring to support the lighting circuits. The result is brighter, more even illumination with a modern, low-profile look throughout the home.
Completion date: March 19, 2026 | Service category: Lighting & Ceiling Fans — Lighting Installation | Branch: Charlotte (Matthews location)
What we installed
- Recessed can lights: Four fixtures per room to deliver balanced, shadow-free lighting and a clean ceiling finish.
- Dedicated switches (3 total): New standard wall switches to provide independent control over the added lighting zones.
- 14/2 NM-B wiring (35 ft): Properly routed Romex for 15-amp lighting circuits, including junction boxes as required by the scope.
- Custom task labor: Additional on-site tasks necessary to complete the installation to spec and ensure a neat final result.
Every connection was carefully made, tested, and labeled so the homeowner can easily understand and manage the new lighting controls.
Our process for a smooth installation
- Room-by-room layout planning: We mapped fixture locations to ensure even light spread and maintain symmetry.
- Switch placement: We positioned new switches for intuitive access while integrating with existing wall plates where possible.
- Neat wire routing: 14/2 NM-B was routed with minimal drywall impact, and penetrations were sealed and secured.
- Testing and verification: Circuits and switches were tested for correct operation, and fixtures were aimed and trimmed for a consistent finish.
- Clean finish: Work areas were tidied, and the homeowner received a walkthrough of the new controls.
Benefits for this Charlotte home
- Brighter, even illumination: Ideal for daily living, entertaining, and task work without harsh shadows.
- Low-profile, modern look: Recessed fixtures keep ceilings clean and uncluttered.
- Convenient control: Dedicated switches let the homeowner light specific zones as needed.
