Homeowners can install light fixtures, but proper support for heavy fixtures is crucial. Electrical connections must meet OESC standards, and hiring a Licensed Electrical Contractor is recommended for safety.
Dimmer switches can be used, but they must be compatible with the light fixtures and bulb types (e.g., LED, incandescent). Ensure the dimmer switch is rated for the correct load.
The OESC doesn’t specify spacing for recessed lights, but placement should prevent overheating and ensure proper illumination. Follow manufacturer guidelines and consult a professional for optimal results.
Yes, LED lights are energy-efficient, long-lasting, and safer due to their low heat output. The OESC supports energy-efficient upgrades like LEDs for residential use.
Smart lighting systems often require compatible wiring, particularly for multi-way switches. Consult an electrician to ensure your current wiring meets the requirements for smart home integration.
Yes, but the OESC has specific rules to prevent overheating, such as maintaining clearances from combustible materials. LED fixtures are often recommended for these areas.
Under-cabinet lighting must be installed using approved fixtures and wiring methods. All connections should be secure, and power sources should comply with the OESC.
GFCI protection is required for light fixtures installed in wet or damp areas, such as bathrooms and above sinks, to prevent electrical shock hazards.
Flickering or dimming lights could indicate overloaded circuits, loose connections, or outdated wiring. An electrician should inspect the system to identify and fix the issue, ensuring OESC compliance.
