Custom Lighting in the Phoenix Valley

Most electricians will install whatever fixture you hand them. That's fine for a basic swap, but it's not what we do best. At The Wire Guy Electric, custom lighting is where we get to be craftsmen. Recessed cans cut exactly where they need to be. Chandeliers hung properly with the right box and bracing. Pendants balanced and level. And our specialty: custom cabinet lighting, cut and soldered to fit each cabinet run, hardwired, and completely seamless.

Custom Cabinet Lighting (Our Specialty)

This is what separates a real install from a hardware-store kit. Most under-cabinet lighting on the market comes in pre-cut, fixed lengths: 12", 18", 24", 36". They don't fit your cabinets. They leave dark gaps, or they hang over the edges, or they get cut down with plastic end caps that look cheap.

We do it differently. For each cabinet, we measure the exact interior length and cut and solder a continuous LED strip to fit. Every joint is soldered and sealed, not crimped. Every run is hardwired back to a dedicated switch or dimmer, not plugged into an outlet with a dangling cord. The driver is tucked into the cabinet or adjacent wall so nothing is visible. The result is a single, seamless line of light that runs the full length of each cabinet with no gaps, no visible wiring, and no bulky joints.

Done right, you don't see the lights. You see what they light up.

  • Continuous strip, custom-cut and soldered for each cabinet length
  • Hardwired to a dedicated switch or dimmer (no plug-in drivers)
  • Seamless installation with hidden wiring and driver placement
  • Color temperature matched to your kitchen (warm white, natural, or tunable)
  • Dimmable on most installs, controlled from the wall or through smart home systems

Recessed Can Lighting

Recessed cans are still the single most popular lighting upgrade our customers ask for. We do them right: properly spaced for even coverage, IC-rated where they touch insulation, wet-rated in bathrooms and soffits, and wired on dimmers where it makes sense. New construction retrofits, ceiling cut-ins for existing homes, and full-house lighting plans. Full pricing detail: Recessed Lighting Installation Cost.

Chandeliers

A chandelier is usually heavier than a standard fixture, and a lot of older Phoenix homes don't have the right box or bracing to support one. We install an approved fan-rated or heavy-fixture ceiling box, add bracing in the attic or ceiling cavity, run new wire if the existing is undersized, and hang the fixture level and centered. Dining rooms, foyers, stairwells, and great rooms.

Pendant Lighting

Kitchen islands, breakfast nooks, hallways, and bathrooms. Proper spacing, consistent drop heights, straight and level alignment, dimmer-compatible wiring. We can work from your design, your designer's plan, or help you figure out what will actually look right in the space.
