Before you begin
Can recessed lights be added without opening the ceiling?
Sometimes, but joists, blocking, insulation, existing wiring, fixture type, and circuit access determine what is possible.
Who performs the electrical work?
Electrical installation and required notification or inspection must be handled through the appropriate licensed electrical contractor.
