Lighting Installation Toronto – Transform Your Space with Professional Lighting
From pot lights and pendants to smart home lighting systems, our ESA licensed electricians deliver beautiful, functional lighting installations throughout Toronto. Illuminate your home the right way.
Why Toronto Homes Deserve Better Lighting
Toronto's diverse architecture presents unique lighting opportunities and challenges.
Century Homes
Victorian and Edwardian homes in the Annex, Cabbagetown, and Rosedale often have single-bulb fixtures and limited lighting circuits. Modern recessed lighting and layered designs transform these dark interiors while respecting heritage character.
Post-War Homes
1950s-70s homes in Don Mills, Scarborough, and North York were built with basic lighting—often just one ceiling fixture per room. Adding pot lights, under-cabinet lighting, and dimmers dramatically improves functionality and ambiance.
Modern Condos & New Builds
Builder-grade lighting in new Toronto condos and homes often lacks warmth and customization. Upgrading to designer fixtures, smart lighting controls, and proper layering creates the atmosphere you actually want.

Lighting Ideas for Every Room
The right lighting strategy depends on how you use each space.
Kitchen Lighting
Layer pot lights for general illumination, under-cabinet lights for task work, and pendants over islands for style. Dimmers let you shift from bright prep to warm dining ambiance.
Bedroom Lighting
Soft ambient lighting with bedside sconces or pendants for reading. Dimmer controls are essential for relaxation. Consider cove lighting for a luxurious touch.
Living Room Lighting
Combine recessed lights, floor lamps, and accent lighting. Layer three types: ambient (pot lights), task (reading lamps), and accent (art lighting) for versatility.
Basement / Rec Room
Basements need more light than you think—plan for 1 pot light per 20-25 sq ft. Add zones for different activities: bright for games, dim for movie nights.
Bathroom Lighting
Even lighting around mirrors prevents shadows. Vanity sconces or vertical fixtures on each side work better than overhead alone. Add pot lights for general illumination.
Outdoor Spaces
Safety and ambiance—pathway lights for navigation, deck lights for entertaining, and security fixtures for peace of mind. Motion sensors save energy and deter intruders.

Real reviews from lighting projects we've completed.
"We had 12 pot lights installed in our kitchen and living room. The difference is incredible—our 1950s bungalow finally feels bright and modern. They helped us plan the layout and the work was clean and quick. Highly recommend."
"Kolji Bros installed pendant lights over our kitchen island and under-cabinet lighting. They even helped us pick the right dimmer switches. Everything works perfectly and the attention to detail was impressive. Fair pricing too."
"Our finished basement was dark and uninviting. They designed a lighting plan with pot lights throughout and separate zones for the TV area and kids' play space. It's like a completely different room now. Worth every penny."
Lighting Installation FAQ
Common questions about lighting upgrades in Toronto homes.
Pot light installation typically costs $150-$250 per light, depending on ceiling type, insulation, and wiring requirements. We provide a detailed quote after assessing your space. Bulk installations (6+ lights) often have better per-light pricing.
A general rule is one pot light per 20-25 square feet for ambient lighting. A 200 sq ft living room typically needs 8-10 lights. Kitchens often need more. We'll create a layout that provides even coverage without dark spots or over-lighting.
Yes, we can install pot lights in finished ceilings without attic access using remodel-style housings. We cut precise holes, fish wiring between joists, and use IC-rated fixtures where needed. The process is cleaner than most homeowners expect.
Simple fixture replacements don't require permits. Adding new circuits, running new wiring, or installing multiple pot lights typically does require an ESA permit. We handle all permit requirements and inspections as part of our service.
IC-rated (Insulation Contact) fixtures can safely touch insulation—essential for most Toronto homes with insulated ceilings. Non-IC fixtures need clearance from insulation. We always use IC-rated fixtures unless your ceiling is uninsulated.
Probably not. Most older dimmers were designed for incandescent bulbs and cause flickering, buzzing, or limited range with LEDs. We install LED-compatible dimmers (like Lutron) that provide smooth, flicker-free dimming across the full range.
Simple pendant or chandelier swaps take 1-2 hours. Installing 6-8 pot lights typically takes a full day. Large projects with multiple rooms or new circuits may take 2-3 days. We'll provide a timeline with your quote.
Yes, we're happy to install fixtures you've purchased. Just make sure they're CSA or ULC approved for use in Canada. We recommend having fixtures on-site before your appointment so we can verify compatibility and mounting requirements.
