A standard recessed lighting installation typically takes 2–6 hours for a single room. Larger projects or rooms with vaulted ceilings may take longer. Saiyan Electric ensures precise, code-compliant installation while minimizing disruption to your home.

Yes, Los Angeles often requires a permit for electrical work, including recessed lighting, especially if new wiring or ceiling modifications are involved. With Saiyan Electric, we can handle the permitting process from start to finish, ensuring your installation meets local building codes.
