LED and recessed lighting systems are generally low-maintenance. LEDs have an exceptionally long lifespan, often lasting 10-20 years with normal use. Regular dusting and occasional cleaning of fixtures are usually sufficient. For recessed lighting, we recommend checking the trim and housing once a year for any signs of wear or moisture. If you notice any flickering or dimming, it’s best to have a professional inspect the system. With over 20 years of experience, Southern Electrical offers maintenance services to ensure your lighting continues to perform optimally for years to come.
