Pot Light Installation — Transform Any Room With Recessed Lighting
Clean lines, even spacing, no visible wires, and no damage to your ceiling. We install pot lights in kitchens, living rooms, basements, and everywhere in between. Licensed electrician — ECRA/ESA 7014730.
Why Pot Lights Are the Most Requested Lighting Upgrade
Pot lights — also called recessed lights — have become the standard for modern home lighting in Ontario. They sit flush with the ceiling, cast clean and even light across the room, and eliminate the need for bulky ceiling fixtures that collect dust and date your home.
Whether you are updating your kitchen, finishing a basement, or just want to brighten up a living room, pot lights make a visible difference. And they do not have to break the bank — a typical room installation runs between $150 and $300 per light, installed.
At KV Bear Electrical (ECRA/ESA 7014730), we specialize in retrofit pot light installations. That means we can install lights in your existing ceiling without needing access from above — no tearing out drywall, no attic crawling, and minimal mess. We map the layout, cut precise openings, run the wiring, and connect everything to a new or existing switch.
How We Install Pot Lights
Layout Planning
We discuss the room's purpose, your lighting preferences, and the existing ceiling structure. We recommend spacing and placement based on room dimensions and joist locations.
Precision Cutting
Using specialized tools, we cut clean openings in the ceiling at the planned locations. We know how to avoid joists and work around obstacles without damaging your ceiling.
Wiring
We run new electrical wiring from your panel or an existing junction box to each pot light location, connecting to a switch. All wiring meets the Ontario Electrical Safety Code.
Installation & Testing
We install the LED pot light housings, connect and test every light, and ensure even illumination across the room. We use high-quality LED fixtures for energy efficiency and longevity.
Pot Light Installation Cost
Pot light installation typically costs between $150 and $300 per light, installed. This includes the fixture, wiring, switch, and labour. The final cost depends on the number of lights, the complexity of the wire run, and whether you need a new circuit or switch installed. We provide a flat-rate quote for the complete job — no hourly billing surprises.

“KV Bear was recommended to us by a friend. We wanted to install a Tesla charger only to find out our electrical panel was known for faulting resulting in an electrical fire. He showed us signs of the panel arcing. The work was clean, professional, and fast! We are so happy we hired a professional.”
