FAQ
Common questions about recessed lighting
Worried your ceiling can't handle it?Read our attic-access guide.
What's the difference between recessed lights, can lights, pot lights, and halo lights?
Nothing structural — recessed lights, recessed ceiling lights, can lights, canned lights, pot lights, LED pot lights, and halo lights are all names for the same flush-mounted ceiling fixture, just depending on the region or the generation. LED can lights included. "Halo" is specifically a common recessed lighting brand, and we install and retrofit halo recessed lighting, halo can lights, halo pot lights, halo downlights, and halo recessed can lights along with every other major brand. Whether it's new LED recessed lighting, an LED can light retrofit, retrofit recessed lighting on old housings, canless recessed lighting (wafer lights) for ceilings without attic access, or a semi flush recessed light for tight clearance — it's the same install: even, code-wired recessed can lights and ceiling can lights, done right.
Do halo recessed lights have any special features, like a night light?
Yes — many halo recessed lighting fixtures we install include a built-in night light mode. A single click of the switch turns the fixture down to a soft night light setting instead of full brightness, so you get subtle overnight lighting in hallways, kitchens, or bathrooms without a separate plug-in night light or extra wiring.
Can recessed lighting be smart and color-changing?
Yes — we also install WiFi-controlled smart fixtures like Govee lights, which connect over WiFi to an app on your phone so you can turn them on or off, dim them, and change them to any color from your phone, no separate smart hub required for basic control.
Can you install recessed lighting without attic access?
Yes — canless (wafer) LED fixtures install from below through a small hole cut in the ceiling. No attic access needed, and no more drywall damage than a standard fixture.
What's the difference between canless/wafer and traditional can lights?
Traditional cans need attic access to mount the housing from above. Canless/wafer LED fixtures are slim, self-contained, and install entirely from below — faster, less invasive, and whatever's living in your attic gets to keep its privacy.
How much does recessed lighting cost?
$85–95 per light for 1–14 fixtures, $70–80 per light for 15 or more. Final price depends on your ceiling type and whether attic access is available — confirmed with a free quote.
Do you install exterior recessed lighting too?
Yes — weather-resistant exterior downlighting that highlights your home's architecture without glaring into windows.
Are you a licensed electrician, not just a lighting installer?
Yes. Charger Electricals holds Ohio Electrical Contractor License #51623 — the wiring is done to code, not just the fixture swapped in.
Do you travel to Dayton or Columbus for recessed lighting?
Yes — recessed lighting is one of the services we'll travel the full Cincinnati-to-Columbus corridor for, since it's usually a full day on-site. See the full coverage area below.
