Lighting Changes Everything
Lighting is the single most impactful element of interior design — it defines how a room feels, how colors render, and how your home functions after dark. Yet most homes are built with builder-grade fixtures, no dimming control, and zero layering strategy. The result: flat, harsh, one-dimensional light that makes beautiful spaces feel ordinary.
We design and install layered systems that combine ambient, task, and accent lighting — each on independent smart dimming control — so your home adapts to how you live: bright for cooking and working, warm for entertaining, soft for winding down. As a licensed low-voltage contractor (ROC #357379) we handle wiring, fixtures, dimmer programming, and smart home integration, working with trusted licensed electricians for any high-voltage work.
Types of Interior Lighting
Six fixture families, layered together and dimmed independently.
Recessed Can Lights & Downlights
LED recessed fixtures in 2″, 3″, 4″, and 6″ apertures with fixed, gimbal, and wall-wash trims. Standard white, warm dim (3000K down to 1800K), and tunable white. IC-rated housings; new construction and remodel/retrofit options.
Puck Lights & Micro Downlights
Miniature pucks and 1″ micro downlights for under cabinets, shelving, soffits, toe-kicks, and shallow ceilings. Embr’s 1″ recessed fixtures deliver up to 1,000 lumens and daisy-chain for simple wiring.
Track Lighting
Liteline KLICK modular track (snap-in LED modules, trimless or surface, 24V), A-Line and A-Beam commercial-grade track, and ATTRACKT low-voltage magnetic track. Heads rotate 358° and tilt 90°; beam angles from 6° spot to 60° flood.
Stair Lighting
Recessed step lights in risers or walls, LED tape under nosings and toe-kicks, handrail-integrated lighting, and stairwell cove lighting — all dimmable, triggered by motion, schedule, or whole-home scenes.
Mill Lights & Decorative
Pendant tracks, linear suspensions, wall sconces, and vanity bars from premium manufacturers — all integrated into your smart dimming system for full scene control.
LED Tape & Cove Lighting
Professional-grade LED tape in aluminum channels for coves, tray ceilings, floating shelves, under-cabinet runs, and reveals. Static white, tunable white, dim-to-warm, and RGB/RGBW — on dedicated drivers through your Lutron system.
Track Lighting That Moves With You
Track lighting provides flexible, repositionable accent and task lighting for kitchens, living rooms, hallways, and art walls. Recessed trimless or surface mount, with heads that rotate and tilt for precise aiming — so a new painting or a rearranged room never needs an electrician.
We install Liteline’s KLICK, A-Line/A-Beam, and ATTRACKT magnetic systems, with PrecisionPro pre-formed drywall channels for true trimless recessed track without framing headaches.
Stair Lighting
Stair lighting improves safety and adds dramatic architectural accent. We install recessed step lights in stair risers or walls, LED tape under stair nosings and along toe-kicks, handrail-integrated lighting, and cove lighting along stairwell walls.
Everything is dimmable and can activate on motion, by schedule, or as part of whole-home scenes — a soft pathway glow at 2 a.m., full brightness when guests arrive.

Interior Lighting Questions, Answered
What types of interior lighting does Planet Geek install?
We install recessed can lights (2″–6″ apertures), miniature puck lights and micro downlights, architectural track lighting systems (surface, recessed, and trimless), stair lighting (step lights, toe-kick, and rail lighting), LED tape and cove lighting, and smart dimmers and keypads. All fixtures are LED with tunable white, dim-to-warm, and full color options available.
What lighting brands does Planet Geek work with?
We install three premium lighting brands: Embr Lighting (modular LED downlight systems with tool-free installation and interchangeable trims), Liteline (KLICK architectural track, A-Line track systems, PrecisionPro trimless recessed, and ATTRACKT low-voltage magnetic track), and Lutron (Caséta, RadioRA 3, and HomeWorks QSX smart lighting control with dimmers, keypads, and Pico remotes).
Can you add recessed lighting to an existing home without major construction?
Yes. Our technicians use attic access, ceiling joist mapping, and low-profile remodel housings to add recessed lights to existing finished ceilings with minimal disruption. Embr’s daisy-chain wiring and IC-rated housings simplify retrofit installations. We patch and paint any necessary ceiling openings and leave your home clean.
What is the difference between puck lights and recessed can lights?
Puck lights are miniature surface-mount or shallow-recess fixtures (typically 1″–2″ aperture) used for accent, task, and cabinet lighting in tight spaces. Recessed can lights are installed flush into the ceiling with 2″–6″ apertures and provide broader ambient or task lighting for rooms. Both are available in adjustable gimbal versions for directional aiming.
Does Planet Geek install Lutron smart lighting controls?
Yes. We are experienced Lutron installers and program Caséta (wireless, DIY-friendly), RadioRA 3 (professional-grade whole-home wireless), and HomeWorks QSX (luxury whole-home with precision dimming, tunable white, and integration with Savant, Sonos, and security systems). All systems include Pico remotes, wall keypads, and smartphone/voice control.
