Commercial & Industrial Lighting

Commercial lighting has to satisfy several masters at once — light levels appropriate to the task, energy cost, maintenance access, code requirements for egress and emergency lighting, and in retail and hospitality, how the space actually looks. We design and install around all of it.

What we install

  • High-bay and warehouse lighting — including aisle layouts and occupancy controls for spaces that are intermittently occupied
  • Office and troffer lighting — with daylight harvesting and scheduling where it pays
  • Retail and hospitality lighting — accent, display, and general lighting where color rendering and uniformity affect how merchandise and spaces present
  • Manufacturing and industrial — including high-temperature, wash-down, vapor-tight, and hazardous-location fixtures
  • Parking lots and structures — pole lighting, garage fixtures, photocell and motion control
  • Exterior and site lighting — building facades, walkways, security lighting, and signage
  • Emergency and egress lighting — exit signs, battery units, and inverter systems, plus the testing that keeps them compliant
  • Lighting controls — occupancy and vacancy sensors, daylight sensors, timeclocks, dimming systems, and networked control

The electrical work behind the fixtures

Commercial lighting projects routinely involve more than fixtures: 120/208V and 277/480V distribution, dedicated lighting panels, transformers, contactors and relay panels, and circuiting designed so that maintenance and control zones make sense years later. We handle that infrastructure as part of the job, and we coordinate with general contractors and other trades on new construction and fit-out projects.

Facilities we serve

Warehouses and distribution centers, manufacturing plants, retail centers and restaurants, offices, medical facilities, and — as a registered NJ public works contractor with DPMC, SBE, and SDA credentials — schools, municipal buildings, and other publicly funded projects.

Residential Lighting

Our service department handles home lighting across North Jersey, whether you are replacing a single fixture, lighting a renovation, or wiring a new build.

  • Recessed lighting — layout and installation, including retrofits into finished ceilings
  • Ceiling fixtures, chandeliers, and pendants — including high-ceiling and stairwell installations
  • Ceiling fans — new circuits, replacements, and remote or wall controls
  • Under-cabinet and task lighting
  • Dimmers and controls — including fixing the LED flicker and buzz that usually comes down to dimmer compatibility
  • Bathroom, closet, attic, and crawlspace lighting
  • Track and accent lighting
  • Landscape and outdoor lighting — path, uplighting, and architectural
  • Security and motion-sensor lighting
  • Pool, patio, and deck lighting
  • Replacing aging fluorescent fixtures in basements, garages, and workshops

A note on planning

Lighting is one of the few electrical decisions people live with visually every day, and it is much cheaper to get right during construction or renovation than to change afterward. If walls or ceilings are open, that is the moment to think about where light should come from — we are happy to walk a project and give you an honest opinion before anything is wired.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do my LED lights flicker or buzz?

Almost always dimmer compatibility. Many older dimmers were designed for incandescent loads and do not work correctly with LED drivers. The fix is usually an LED-compatible dimmer, occasionally a different lamp or driver. It is a quick service call — and worth doing, since flicker is also a common headache trigger.

Can you add recessed lighting without tearing up my ceiling?

Usually yes. Remodel-style housings are designed to install into finished ceilings, and we route wiring through joist bays with minimal cutting. Some layouts — particularly under a floor above with blocking or ductwork — require more access, and we will tell you honestly what a given ceiling will involve.

Should I upgrade my commercial lighting to LED?

For most facilities still running fluorescent, metal halide, or high-pressure sodium, the economics are compelling on energy and maintenance alone — and with PSE&G incentives applied through our Trade Ally participation, the net cost is often far lower than owners expect. We will assess your facility at no cost and show you real numbers.

Do you handle emergency and exit lighting compliance?

Yes. We install and service emergency egress lighting, exit signage, battery units, and inverter systems for commercial buildings.
