Lighting
Lighting that works — and works right.
Lighting is one of the highest-impact, lowest-stress upgrades you can make to a home or commercial space — when it’s done by licensed electricians who know how to size wiring, route junction boxes, and tie into existing switching properly. The wrong install creates fire risk, flicker, premature fixture failure, and code violations.
We install indoor, outdoor, landscape, and security lighting for residential and commercial properties across Washington and Idaho. Old fixture removed, new fixture mounted, wiring upgraded if needed, switches and dimmers configured — all in one visit when possible.
- Licensed in WA & ID Washington and Idaho licensed, bonded, and insured — residential and commercial.
- Stocked trucks Breakers, switches, outlets, wiring, and diagnostic gear on board for one-trip repairs.
- Flat-rate quotes Approved before any work — never charged by the hour.
- Warrantied work 1-year labor warranty plus full manufacturer parts coverage.

Am personally very happy with mainstream for being an outside eye looking for us when we least expect and the electrian Sam for being so communicative on every move he made in our home ,Thankyou all who participated in making today's visit a success and keep up the good work you are all doing 😀
★★★★★
Austin, Pierce and Steven were all fantastic. Punctual, friendly and effective. They helped us identify issues caused by delayed maintenance and helped work through why our dishwasher wasn't as effective as I was needing. I especially appreciate their consideration of financing. Never do I feel pressured into an upsell and the advice always seems practical and budgetable.
Over all, Mainstream is always my first call for plumbing and electric. I have yet to be disappointed with their service. Thanks again!

Lighting — Frequently Asked Questions
Can you install a ceiling fan where there's no fixture box?
Yes. Most ceiling fans require a fan-rated junction box — heavier and more securely mounted than a standard light box. We retrofit a fan-rated box and run the wiring through the attic when needed. Typical install with new box: 2–4 hours.
I bought a fixture — can you install it?
Absolutely. We install customer-supplied fixtures every day. We’ll let you know up front if the existing wiring or switching needs upgrades and quote those as part of the flat-rate price.
Do you do landscape lighting?
Yes — both low-voltage landscape lighting and line-voltage outdoor fixtures. Path lights, uplights, deck lights, security floods, and dusk-to-dawn fixtures. Transformer install and zone wiring included.
Will it work with my smart-home system?
Yes. We install smart dimmers (Lutron Caseta, Leviton Decora Smart) and integrate with Alexa, Google Home, and Apple Home. We also work with full smart-home systems like Control4 and Crestron.
Do you handle commercial lighting?
Yes. We install and service commercial lighting in offices, restaurants, retail, and multi-family in both Washington and Idaho. After-hours scheduling available.
Is the work warrantied?
Every install includes a 1-year Mainstream labor warranty plus the manufacturer warranty on fixtures (typically 1–5 years).
