Our Raleigh branch completed a clean, efficient lighting upgrade for homeowner Hermann Castro in Chapel Hill. On March 18, 2026, technician Cody Perry installed three new wafer recessed lights and converted three existing can lights to modern, low‑profile LED wafer fixtures. The result is brighter, even illumination with a sleek, updated look that works beautifully in tight ceiling spaces.
This Lighting & Ceiling Fans project falls under our Lighting Installation services and is backed by Touchstone Electric’s lifetime craftsmanship warranty.
Scope of work
- 6x Wafer fixture installs: Three brand-new recessed locations plus three conversions from older cans to wafer-style LEDs.
- Targeted wiring: Approximately 20 feet of NM‑B 14/2 cable added where needed, including junction boxes as appropriate for a neat, code‑compliant tie‑in to the lighting circuit.
- No panel or breaker work was part of this visit; the new and converted fixtures were integrated with the existing lighting setup.
Wafer recessed lights are a great choice for remodels because they last longer and can be used in narrow spaces where traditional housings won’t fit.
Why upgrade to wafer recessed lighting?
- Low profile, big impact: Slim fixtures sit nearly flush for a modern, unobtrusive finish.
- Ideal for tight spaces: Perfect under joists, near ductwork, or below shallow ceilings.
- Consistent, efficient light: LED technology delivers bright, even illumination while using less energy than many legacy can lights.
- Reduced maintenance: Long-lasting components help minimize future bulb changes and service calls.
If you’re considering a can light conversion in Chapel Hill, wafer LEDs provide a fast, minimally invasive path to updated lighting with a clean aesthetic.
Our installation approach
- Thoughtful layout: We confirmed fixture spacing and alignment to avoid shadows and hot spots.
- Precision cutting: Clean ceiling cutouts for a snug, professional trim fit.
- Secure wiring and mounting: Proper cable routing and junction box placement for reliability and safety.
- Full function testing: Verified switching, dimming (when applicable), color temperature selections, and uniform output.
- Neat cleanup: Dust control and site cleanup so the space was ready to enjoy right away.
The finished result delivers smooth, even light and a more contemporary look—without the bulk of old recessed cans.
