Recessed lighting trim and LED bulb replacement in Matthews, NC
On February 8, 2024, Touchstone Electric’s Charlotte branch completed a lighting refresh for homeowner Raynell Atkins in Matthews, NC. Technician Danny Bishop replaced failed recessed trims inside the main home and updated select guest house fixtures with efficient LED bulbs. This Lighting & Ceiling Fans project focused on restoring consistent, bright illumination while preparing the homeowner with spare parts for future maintenance.
What we installed
We supplied quality components and installed replacements where fixtures had burnt out, keeping the home’s lighting uniform and reliable.
- Nora 4-inch recessed trims: Furnished 17 total; installed 7 throughout the home to replace burnt-out trims.
- 4-inch LED MR16 bulbs (guest house): Furnished 13 total; installed 3 to replace burnt bulbs.
- Spare parts on hand: Per the homeowner’s request, we ordered extra trims and bulbs so future replacements will be quick and convenient.
This work falls under our Lighting Installation services, delivering a clean, modern look with dependable, even light levels.

Some materials for this job were special-order items. To place the order, a 25% deposit was required. Based on supplier lead times, trims and bulbs may take approximately 2–3 weeks to arrive. Once in hand, our team schedules installation at a time that works best for the homeowner in Matthews.
