Good lighting does a lot more than just brighten a room. It affects how a space feels, how functional it is, and how much you enjoy being in it. Whether you’re replacing an outdated fixture, adding recessed lighting to a room that’s never had it, or upgrading your whole home to LED, Kelley Electric handles residential lighting installation throughout Allentown and the Lehigh Valley area.
Indoor Lighting Installation
We install all types of interior lighting fixtures for homeowners across Allentown and the Lehigh Valley. Whether you have a specific fixture picked out or just know what you want a room to feel like, we’ll get it installed correctly and safely.
Common indoor lighting installations we handle include:
- Ceiling fixtures and chandeliers
- Light fixture installation and repair
- Recessed lighting
- Under-cabinet and under-counter lighting
- Ceiling fans with light kits

Outdoor Lighting Installation
Outdoor lighting serves two purposes: it makes your home look better and it makes it safer. A well-lit entryway, driveway, or backyard deters unwanted visitors and makes it easier to navigate your property after dark. We install a range of exterior lighting options for Allentown and Lehigh Valley homeowners, including:
- Porch and entryway lighting
- Security and motion-activated lights
- Landscape and pathway lighting
- Garage and driveway lighting
- Soffit and accent lighting
LED Upgrades
If your home still has older incandescent or fluorescent lighting, switching to LED is one of the more straightforward upgrades you can make. LED bulbs use significantly less energy, last much longer, and produce less heat. In many cases the switch pays for itself over time through lower utility bills. We can handle a simple bulb swap or a full fixture upgrade depending on what makes the most sense for your home.
Smart Lighting
Smart lighting lets you control your fixtures through a phone app, voice commands, or automated schedules. It’s a practical upgrade for homeowners who want more control over their lighting without having to think about it constantly. We install smart switches, smart bulb setups, and integrated lighting controls that work with popular platforms like Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Apple HomeKit.

For a simple swap where you're replacing an existing fixture with a new one on the same wiring, many homeowners handle it themselves. But if you're adding a fixture where there isn't one, installing recessed lighting, or working in a location without existing wiring, you'll need an electrician to run the wiring and make sure everything is up to code.
Recessed lighting sits flush with the ceiling and gives a clean, modern look without a hanging fixture. Adding it to an existing home is very doable, though it does involve running new wiring and cutting into the ceiling. The complexity depends on what's above the ceiling and how your home is framed. We can assess your space and give you a realistic picture of what's involved.
LED bulbs use significantly less energy than incandescent bulbs and last much longer, often 15 to 25 times longer depending on the product. Over time the energy savings typically offset the upfront cost of the upgrade. LEDs also produce less heat, which can make a noticeable difference in rooms with a lot of fixtures running at once.
Yes, in most cases. The main consideration is whether the existing electrical box in the ceiling is rated to support a ceiling fan, since fans are heavier and create more movement than a standard light fixture. If it isn't, we'll swap it out for a fan-rated box as part of the installation.
Smart lighting typically works through either smart bulbs or smart switches. Smart bulbs screw into existing fixtures and connect to your home's Wi-Fi. Smart switches replace your existing wall switches and control standard bulbs. Both can be controlled through a phone app or voice assistant. The right approach depends on your fixtures and how you want to control things. We'll walk you through the options before recommending anything.
Yes. Adding outdoor lighting where there's no existing wiring involves running a new circuit from your panel to the exterior of your home. The scope depends on where you want the lights and how far they are from your panel. We handle the full installation including any trenching needed for underground wiring runs.
Flickering and buzzing in fluorescent fixtures is usually a sign the ballast is failing. A ballast replacement is less expensive than a full fixture swap and often solves the problem completely. That said, if your fixtures are older, it may make more sense to upgrade to LED at the same time rather than putting money into aging fluorescent hardware. We'll give you an honest take on which direction makes more sense for your situation.
