LED and recessed lighting systems are known for their low maintenance requirements. LEDs typically last 20-25 years with normal use, significantly reducing the need for bulb replacements. For recessed lighting, occasional dusting of the fixtures and checking for any signs of moisture (especially in bathroom installations) is recommended. If you notice any flickering or dimming, it’s best to have us inspect the system. We offer maintenance services to ensure your lighting continues to perform optimally for years to come.
