Lighting changes how a room feels more than any other electrical project. The right plan brightens dark kitchens, eliminates shadows in living rooms, makes outdoor spaces safer at night, and dramatically increases home value when you sell. The wrong plan — too few cans, mismatched color temperatures, undersized circuits — leaves a house feeling worse than before.
Total Plumbing Pros designs and installs full lighting projects across Mooresville, Charlotte, and Lake Norman. Recessed LED cans, chandeliers, pendants, under-cabinet, accent, dimmable smart lighting, exterior wall packs, soffit lights, and full landscape lighting systems. We size the circuit, plan the layout, and install everything to code with a clean, finished look.
Signs You Need Lighting Installation
Dark Kitchen or Workspace
Older homes were built with one central light. Modern kitchens need 6-12 recessed LEDs plus under-cabinet task lighting to work properly.
Outdated Fluorescent or Incandescent
Old fluorescent fixtures and incandescent cans cost 5-10x more to run than modern LED. A full LED retrofit pays for itself in 2-3 years.
No Outdoor or Landscape Lighting
Front entries, walkways, and back patios should be lit for safety and curb appeal. Low-voltage landscape lighting is one of the highest-ROI exterior upgrades.
Switches in the Wrong Places
Switches that don't control the right lights, missing 3-way switches at stair tops, and no dimmer where you need one — all fixable with a re-wire.

Our Process
- 1
Design Walk-Through
We walk the rooms or property with you, map fixture locations, confirm color temperature and dimmer preferences, and quote a flat price.
- 2
Layout and Circuit Planning
For larger jobs we mark fixture locations, confirm circuit capacity, and add a dedicated circuit if needed for code compliance.
- 3
Installation
Recessed cans are cut and mounted, fixtures are hung level and plumb, switches and dimmers are wired and labeled, and we test every light on every switch.
- 4
Final Adjustment
We aim gimbals and adjustable lights, set dimmer minimums, and walk through every fixture with you before cleanup.
