Do You Need New Wiring For Overhead Lighting Or Need Power For A New Light Switch?

If you want to add overhead lighting to an existing light switch in a room or if you don't have an existing light switch in a room, than we need to confirm if you have an existing light switch on the wall or do you need a new wall switch as well.

  • If you have a wall switch already then you will want to check if the switch is still in good shape, and we then you can repurpose it to control your new overhead lighting.

  • If there is no switch existing on the wall in the room, then you will first have to figure out where we can get power for the new light switch as easy as possible.

  • Try to look around for the closest power outlet to where you would install a light switch in the room.
