General guideline is one fixture per 25–30 sq ft for ambient lighting. We refine this during the free layout consultation based on ceiling height, room function, and your lighting goals.

Replacing existing fixtures typically does not. Adding new fixtures on new circuits requires a permit from City of Encinitas Development Services. We assess and handle permits when needed.
Yes. LED retrofit kits insert into existing 6-inch housings — quick and cost-effective. If the housings are old or in poor condition, we can replace them entirely with new IC-rated wafer fixtures.
