"Other electricians said our slab home couldn't have recessed lights. ASL Electric installed 12 cans in our living room and kitchen — perfect spacing, no ceiling damage."
— David M., Irvine
Most electricians say no to slab homes or finished ceilings. We say yes. Using retrofit cans and minimal-access techniques, we install recessed lighting from below with surgical precision and patch any cuts.
Recessed lighting spacing matters. Too few and rooms feel dim. Too many and they look like a runway. We measure, plan, and lay out every can placement before drilling — based on ceiling height, room size, and use.
We install LED-only — never outdated halogen or CFL. Lower energy use, longer lifespan, dimmable, and cooler operation. Most customers see lighting bills drop 60–80% after switching to LED cans.
We use the right tools — drywall hole saws, dust containment, drop cloths — so your home stays clean during install. Any required cuts for fishing wires get patched before we leave.
All recessed lighting installs meet California Title 24 energy code — including required IC-rated, airtight cans where insulation is present. No code violations, no failed inspections, no future hassle.
No upsells, no surprise add-ons, no hidden costs. Every recessed lighting installation from ASL Electric includes everything below as part of the flat-rate price quoted upfront.
Walkthrough of your room, spacing calculation, and recommended placement before any holes are cut. Final layout approved by you.
If your job needs a permit, we pull it. You don't deal with the city. We handle paperwork and inspection coordination.
Where insulation is present, we use IC-rated airtight LED cans to meet Title 24 code. Standard practice on every install — no upcharge.
New switches, dimmer switches, or rewiring of existing switches as needed for your new lighting layout. Tested before we leave.
If we have to make access cuts to fish wire, we patch them before leaving — ready for you to texture and paint to match.
Drop cloths, plastic sheeting, and HEPA vacuum on site. Your floors and furniture stay clean during cut and install work.
Written warranty on every install. Anything not right after we leave, we come back and fix at no charge.
We test every fixture, every switch, every dimmer, and walk you through operation before we hand the job over.

Real questions homeowners ask about recessed lighting installation in Orange County. If you don't see your question, just call or chat with us — we're happy to help.
Yes — this is one of our specialties. We use retrofit cans designed for installation from below the ceiling. We make small access cuts to fish the wires, install the cans, and patch the cuts. No tearing apart your ceiling, no crawling through insulation.
General rule: divide ceiling height by 2 to get spacing in feet. For an 8-foot ceiling, space cans 4 feet apart. A typical 12x14 living room needs 6–9 cans for proper coverage. We measure and plan layouts during the estimate so you know exactly what you'll get.
We install 4-inch, 5-inch, 6-inch, and 9-inch can lights. 4-inch and 6-inch are most common in residential. 9-inch larger cans are used in great rooms and high ceilings. We help you choose the right size based on ceiling height and room use during the estimate.
Yes — almost all modern LED recessed lights we install are dimmable. We pair them with the matching dimmer switch (Lutron, Leviton, or smart options like Kasa). Some older LED cans aren't compatible with all dimmers; we'll verify compatibility on every install.
A single can light replacement takes about 30–45 minutes. A full room of 6–8 new recessed lights with switches typically takes 4–6 hours. Whole-home installs of 20+ lights are usually completed in one full day, sometimes two if drywall patching is extensive.
Adding new circuits or significant new wiring requires permits in most OC cities. Replacing existing fixtures with similar replacements usually does not. ASL Electric pulls all required permits as part of the job — you don't have to deal with the city.
Yes — vaulted ceilings are common in OC homes and we install recessed lighting in them regularly. We use angled trim cans where needed so the light beam points where you want it instead of into the ceiling angle.
Yes — slab construction homes are very common in Orange County. We install retrofit recessed cans by accessing the ceiling cavity from below. No need to break through the slab. The result looks identical to lights installed from above.
