Any house or building is incomplete without adequate lighting. Lighting in any house must be a subtle balance of classical and modern trends that should aptly reflect the preferences and likes and dislikes of any owner. You will very rarely come across a house that is perfectly designed to reflect the taste of its owners.
Most of the time either the lighting is garish or very dull! Every room in a house is unique in its setting and purpose. A lighting system must perfectly complement the setting of a living room, bedroom, dining room, bathroom or kitchen. An improperly installed lighting system affects the settings of a room.

How we install pot lights
Every installation starts with a layout plan — room by room, marking spacing so light falls evenly instead of in hot spots. We use laser alignment for straight rows, cut clean openings, run the wiring through the ceiling with minimal drywall disturbance, and connect everything on properly rated circuits with an ESA Notification of Work where required. You get dimmable, evenly spaced lighting and a ceiling that looks like it was always meant to have it.
Choosing the right pot lights
Most Toronto installations today use slim LED pot lights: they fit shallow ceilings, run cool, and last 15–25 years. The choices that matter: size (4-inch for accent and smaller rooms, 6-inch for general lighting), colour temperature (2700–3000K warm for living spaces, 4000K+ for kitchens, garages and workspaces), and dimming. If you’re pairing pot lights with dimmers, LED-compatible dimmers matter — the wrong pairing causes flicker.
How many pot lights does a room need?
A quick rule of thumb our electricians use: divide the ceiling height by two to get the spacing in feet between lights (an 8-foot ceiling → about 4 feet apart), then adjust for the room’s purpose — closer over kitchen counters and work areas, wider in hallways. A typical 12×12 living room takes 4–6 lights; open-concept kitchen/living areas often take 10–16. We finalize the count during the layout plan so you’re not paying for lights the room doesn’t need.
What does pot light installation cost in Toronto?
Pricing depends mostly on the number of lights, ceiling access, and whether new switches or dimmers are added. Labour typically runs $80–$120 per recessed LED pot light installed. Every project gets an upfront written quote before work begins. For a full breakdown, see our pot light installation cost guide.
Indoor and Outdoor Lighting
Outdoor lighting is one field that is mostly ignored by the service providers with no attention to aesthetic details. Ontime Electric provides the most aesthetically finished lighting options for your outdoor patios, lawns and exterior.
Kitchen, bathroom and bedroom lighting is also exquisitely done to give you a classical yet cozy feeling. Special attention is given to the interior décor to enhance the effects of certain details. Potlight installation is completed neatly and seamlessly to give your home a clean, uncluttered appearance. Lighting installation is completed by experienced electricians who are responsive to customer questions and project requirements.
