Transform Your Home with Professional Lighting Installation in Gilbert and Queen Creek
JLM Electric provides expert interior and landscape lighting design across the East Valley. We deliver beautiful, energy-efficient solutions that enhance your home’s value and functionality.
Our Comprehensive Indoor & Outdoor Lighting Services
We offer a full spectrum of lighting services, using high-quality fixtures and the latest technology to bring your vision to life. Whether you’re looking for a subtle upgrade or a complete lighting overhaul, we have the skills and experience to get the job done right.
Recessed Lighting Installation
Recessed lighting, or can lighting, is the most popular choice for homeowners in Gilbert and Queen Creek seeking a clean, modern aesthetic. These fixtures are installed directly into the ceiling, providing broad, even illumination without cluttering your visual space. They are perfect for kitchens, living rooms, hallways, and basements.
• Our Process: We don’t just randomly place lights. We work with you to create a custom layout plan that considers room size, ceiling height, and furniture placement to eliminate shadows and create a perfectly lit environment.
Under-Cabinet Lighting
Elevate your kitchen’s functionality and style with under-cabinet lighting. This is one of the most impactful and affordable lighting upgrades you can make. It provides brilliant task lighting for your countertops, making meal prep safer and easier, while also highlighting your backsplash and adding a layer of warmth and depth to the heart of your home.
• Our Solutions: We install low-profile LED light bars or strips that are virtually invisible, providing a seamless look. We can wire them to a dedicated switch or integrate them with your existing kitchen lighting controls.
Chandelier & Pendant Light Installation
A beautiful chandelier or a series of pendant lights can serve as the stunning centerpiece of a room. Whether it’s a grand chandelier in your two-story foyer or modern pendants over your kitchen island, proper installation is key to safety and appearance.
• Our Expertise: Our electricians are experts at installing heavy and complex fixtures. We ensure the electrical box is properly braced to support the weight, assemble the fixture correctly, and hang it at the perfect height for maximum visual impact.
Outdoor & Landscape Lighting
Extend your living space and enhance your home’s curb appeal with a professional landscape lighting design. In Arizona, where we love to enjoy our beautiful evenings outdoors, landscape lighting is essential. It creates an inviting ambiance for your patio, pool, and backyard, while also improving safety by illuminating pathways and steps.
• Our Approach: We use durable, weather-resistant, low-voltage LED fixtures to strategically highlight your home’s architectural features, trees, and garden beds. From subtle path lights to dramatic uplighting, we can design a system that makes your home the envy of the neighborhood.
Security
Lighting
Well-placed security lighting is one of the most effective deterrents against intruders. A dark property is an invitation for unwanted attention. We can help you secure the perimeter of your home with smart, energy-efficient security lighting.
• Our Recommendations: We typically install motion-activated LED floodlights over driveways and in the dark corners of your property. We also recommend dusk-to-dawn lights for continuous illumination of entry points. These solutions provide peace of mind while minimizing energy consumption.
Smart Lighting & Dimmer Switch
Take control of your home’s lighting with smart technology. We can install smart switches and lighting systems that allow you to control your lights from your smartphone, set schedules, create scenes, and even change colors. We can integrate your lighting with smart home platforms like Amazon Alexa and Google Home for voice-activated control.
• Dimmer Switches: We believe every light should be on a dimmer. Dimmer switches are essential for creating ambiance and saving energy. We can replace any standard switch with a modern dimmer, ensuring it is fully compatible with your LED bulbs to prevent flickering or buzzing.
The JLM Electric Lighting Design & Installation Process
We follow a collaborative process to ensure your new lighting perfectly matches your vision and your home’s needs.
Consultation & Design: We start by listening to you. We’ll walk through your space, discuss your goals, and offer expert recommendations on fixture types, placement, and control options.
Detailed Proposal: You will receive a clear, written proposal outlining the complete scope of the project, including a layout plan and a firm price for all labor and materials.
Professional Installation: Our licensed, uniformed electricians will carry out the installation with precision and care. We treat your home with respect, using drop cloths and cleaning up our work area completely.
Final Walkthrough & Demonstration: Once the installation is complete, we’ll walk you through the project, demonstrate how to use your new lights and controls, and ensure you are 100% satisfied with the result.
The Benefits of Upgrading to LED Lighting
If your home still has incandescent or CFL bulbs, upgrading to LED is one of the smartest investments you can make. We recommend LED for 100% of our lighting installations.
• Massive Energy Savings: LEDs use up to 80% less energy than incandescent bulbs, which translates directly into lower monthly bills from SRP and APS.
• Incredibly Long Lifespan: LED bulbs can last 25,000 hours or more—that’s over 20 years of typical use. You’ll save money and the hassle of constantly changing bulbs.
• Superior Light Quality: Modern LEDs are available in a wide range of color temperatures, from warm and cozy to cool and energizing, with excellent color rendering.
• Reduced Heat Output: LEDs produce very little heat, which helps keep your home cooler and reduces the strain on your air conditioning system—a significant benefit during our hot Arizona summers.
