Absolutely. Most of our customers purchase their own fixtures from retailers or online. We install customer-supplied fixtures every day. Just make sure the fixture is rated for the intended location (e.g., damp-rated for outdoor use).
While simple fixture swaps may seem straightforward, a licensed electrician ensures the junction box can support the weight, the wiring is safe and code-compliant, and the fixture is properly grounded. This is especially important for heavier fixtures like chandeliers and ceiling fans.
