Task lighting for counters, pendants over islands, and toe-kick lighting that makes your kitchen feel premium.

Wall sconces, stair lighting, and cove lighting to highlight architecture and create mood.
Bathroom & Vanity Lighting
Bright, shadow-free lighting at your vanity, shower-rated pot lights, and GFCI-protected circuits.

Smart Switches & Controls

Dimmers & smart switches
The right controls make just as much difference as the right fixtures. We install modern dimmers and smart switches so your lighting feels as good to control as it looks — from simple wall dimmers to app-controlled scenes.
LED-compatible dimmers that reduce flicker and buzzing.
Smart switches and dimmers that work with Apple Home, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa.
Multiple locations and 3-way/4-way switching for hallways and staircases.
Timers and schedules for exterior and security lighting.
Have a preferred platform or brand in mind? We can recommend options and install other smart controls on request.
Examples of control upgrades
Replace basic on/off switches with smooth, low-profile dimmers.
Add smart dimmers for kitchens, great rooms, and basements you can control from your phone.
Set “movie night” or “evening” lighting scenes with a single tap.
Automate exterior lighting so it turns on at sunset and off at a set time.
Our residential lighting process
We keep the process simple and predictable, so you know what will happen and when. Most lighting projects follow these steps:
Consultation & walkthrough
We listen to what you want to change, walk through your home, and talk about how you actually use each space.
Lighting layout & options
We propose pot light locations, fixture types, colour temperature, and control options that fit your budget.
Installation day
We protect floors and furniture, complete the wiring and installation, and keep you updated through the day.
Testing & dimming setup
We test every circuit, set up dimmers and smart switches, and confirm that the lighting matches your expectations.
ESA inspection ready
Where required, we file the ESA notification and ensure the work is ready for inspection.
Follow-up & future phases
We can plan additional rooms or outdoor lighting as a second phase if you want to spread out the work.

Residential lighting FAQ
Have a question that isn't covered here? Reach out and we'll be happy to discuss your specific home and project.
How many pot lights do I need in a room?
It depends on the size of the room, ceiling height, and how you use the space. During our visit, we create a layout that balances brightness with comfort so the room feels evenly lit without being harsh.
Can I dim LED pot lights and other fixtures?
Yes. We select fixtures and dimmers that are compatible with each other to avoid flicker or buzzing, and we can set up multiple scenes for different times of day.
Do you install lights in finished ceilings?
In many cases, yes. We use low-profile fixtures and wire routing techniques that minimize drywall repairs. If cutting and patching are required, we review that with you before any work begins.
What colour temperature should I choose?
Most homeowners prefer warm white (2700K–3000K) in living spaces and slightly cooler (3000K–3500K) in kitchens and work areas. We can install colour-selectable fixtures if you want flexibility.
Do I need a permit or ESA notification?
Many electrical projects in Ontario require an ESA notification. As an ECRA/ESA-licensed contractor, Spark-E Unlimited handles the notification process when it’s required for your project.
Can you integrate smart home lighting?
Yes. We install smart dimmers and switches that work with Apple, Google, and Amazon ecosystems, and can design a plan that you can build out over time.
