Lighting Installation
Lighting Installation Services in Toronto & the GTA
Addis Electric installs interior, exterior and accent lighting for homes and businesses across Toronto and the GTA, from single fixtures to complete lighting plans.
Lighting That Suits the Way You Use Each Space
Good lighting changes how a room feels and how well it works. A kitchen with bright, even task lighting is easier and safer to cook in. A living room with layered, dimmable light feels comfortable in the evening. A well-lit entrance makes a home or business more welcoming and easier to navigate after dark.
Addis Electric handles lighting installation for residential and commercial properties throughout Toronto and the GTA. We install the fixtures you've chosen, advise on placement and controls, and make sure the wiring and electrical boxes behind each fixture are suited to the job.
Interior, Exterior and Accent Lighting Installation
Most lighting projects combine several fixture types. We help you balance general, task and accent lighting so each space has enough light without glare or dark corners.
Interior Fixtures
Ceiling fixtures, chandeliers, pendants, wall sconces and vanity lights all need secure mounting and suitable electrical boxes, especially heavier fixtures and ceiling fans. We check support and wiring before hanging anything. For a clean, modern ceiling, many homeowners pair decorative fixtures with pot light installation.
Kitchen and Task Lighting
Under-cabinet lighting, island pendants and focused task lighting make work surfaces easier to use. These are often added during kitchen updates as part of broader electrical renovations.
Exterior and Landscape Lighting
Porch lights, soffit lighting, pathway and garden lighting, and motion-activated security lights improve visibility and curb appeal. Exterior fixtures and connections are selected and installed for outdoor conditions.
Dimmers, Controls and Smart Switches
Dimmers, timers, occupancy sensors and smart switches add convenience and can help reduce energy use. Many smart switches need a neutral wire that older switch boxes may not have, so we check compatibility first. Dimmers are matched to the LED fixtures they control to help avoid flicker and buzzing.
Benefits of Professional Lighting Installation
A fixture is only as good as the way it's installed. Professional installation delivers:
Safe, Secure Mounting
Fixtures are supported by boxes and hardware suited to their weight and type.
Better-Lit Spaces
Thoughtful placement reduces shadows, glare and dark corners.
Energy-Efficient Options
Modern LED fixtures use less energy and last longer than older bulb types.
Compatible Controls
Dimmers and smart switches matched to your fixtures work smoothly without flicker.
Improved Curb Appeal
Exterior lighting highlights architecture and makes entrances safer at night.

Level fixtures, properly fitted canopies and clean trim details.

Lighting Installation Across Toronto and the GTA
Lighting needs vary from one Toronto home to the next. Narrow Victorian semis in Riverdale and Trinity Bellwoods often have plaster ceilings and little natural light in their middle rooms, which makes careful fixture choice especially valuable. Bungalows in Etobicoke and North York are frequently opened up during renovations, creating larger spaces that benefit from layered lighting. High-rise condos downtown can have concrete ceilings that limit where new fixtures can go, so track lighting or wall-mounted fixtures may be the better fit.
Across Mississauga, Oakville, Vaughan, Markham and Whitby, homeowners often focus on exterior and landscape lighting to show off their properties and improve safety around driveways and backyards. Businesses throughout the GTA rely on well-planned lighting too; see our commercial electrical services for more.

Lighting Installation FAQs
Can you install light fixtures that I've purchased myself?
Yes. We regularly install customer-supplied fixtures. We check that the fixture suits the location and that the existing box and wiring can support it.
Can a ceiling fan go where my light fixture is now?
Often, yes, but ceiling fans need an electrical box and support rated for fan use. We check the existing box and ceiling structure and upgrade the support if needed.
Why do my LED lights flicker on a dimmer?
Flickering usually points to a dimmer that isn't compatible with the LED fixtures or bulbs it controls. Replacing it with a compatible dimmer often solves the problem.
Do smart switches work in older homes?
Many smart switches require a neutral wire in the switch box, which some older homes don't have. We check your wiring and recommend compatible options.
Do you install outdoor and landscape lighting?
Yes. We install porch, soffit, pathway, landscape and motion-sensor lighting using fixtures and connections suited to outdoor conditions.
What colour temperature should I choose for my lighting?
Warmer light is popular in living areas and bedrooms, while slightly cooler light can suit kitchens, bathrooms and workspaces. We're happy to talk through options for each room.
