Here are examples of what recess lighting looks like. Recess lighting is very versatile, you can use it for the main lighting of a room, accent lighting, highlite lighting, outdoors in soffits, or to light just a small area that is dark. The only problem with the recess trims is that they come in a limited color selection. But they may be painted to match the decor of your home. We use Nora Lighting brand of recess cans and Feit Electricfor most of the recess trims.
UnderCabinet LED Tape

Here are examples of what LED tape lighting looks like. LED tape light is exactly what it sounds like, the LED component and the circuitry is attached to a piece of metallic like tape. Usually, they come in 12" strips that are connected and can be disconnected or cut to fit, they are only about a 1/4" tall. This product is great! We primarily use it for under-cabinet lighting but also in-cabinet and over-cabinet applications. Also, for toe-kick lighting. A very versatile product that is slim and flexible enough to be installed in places where traditional lighting can not be fit to. This product can also come in the full color spectrum and can be dimmed, if needed. We use Nora LED tape for our applications.
UnderCabinet Light On Granite

 Here are examples of what fluorescent undercabinet lighting looks like installed to the bottom side of upper cabinets. The lighting really fills in the dark areas on the countertops and in the kitchen, especially when you are working there and your body is blocking the overhead light from shining on the countertop. Use it as a nightlight, also. Fluorescent undercabinet lighting fixtures come in three different lamp types, T/5, T/8 and T/12. And in different sizes, approximately 1" to 1 1/2" high and 12" to 48" long. It is advisable to have your cabinet maker install a trim cove or something similar to hide the fixture. In that way, the fixture is completely hidden and the light appears as if from nowhere.
Davis 24v Xenon Puck Lights

Here are examples of what puck lighting looks like. I highly suggest when you build a beautiful cabinet, curio or hutch with glass doors that you use some form of lighting so you can see your memorabilia or knick knacks. Puck lighting is very good as a display light in cabinets. They are small hockey puck shaped fixtures that can be surface mounted or semi-flush mounted. They are commonly powered by 120v or 24v. There are three styles of lamps; halogen is the most common, xenon operate slightly cooler and are dimmable, and LED. We have also installed these as undercabinet lighting.
Karen M Pottery Studio Lighting

Wall of Honor Track Light Track Lighting On a Beam Track Light Fixture

Here are examples of what track lighting looks like. In my opinion, track lighting should be used as accent or highlighting, rather than the main lighting in a room. The reason is because even though you can add as many heads as the circuit can allow, there always seems to be shadows and not a full envelope of light. There are many different styles and sizes of heads you can use, even ones with pendant heads. Also, different color and lamp styles.
Cross With Backlighting

Faux Ivy Mixed With White Light String Mailbox Alcove Lighting ToeKick Lighting ToeKick Lighting

Here are examples of what you can do with different techniques of lighting to dress up your home. Use various LED, fluorescent, recess or puck light fixtures to highlight certain areas. Intertwine string lighting with faux foliage to brighten an area. Try rope lighting or certain plug-in type fixtures for back lighting or highlighting that dark area. Or use colored lamps in different fixtures and areas. Using these techniques, it will really dress up an area with lighting and create the right aura for what you are seeking. Our imagination and the product available is the limit.

Here are examples of different service equipment. There are many different uses and ways of installing service equipment, especially on rural homesteads with numerous buildings. Sometimes in homes, we will add subpanels in different parts of the house or garage to distribute power more efficiently. Also, whenever we do a service upgrade on a service pole we add a GFCI receptacle for your convenience on the pole.

Ceiling Fan Fished In

Garage Of Fished Fan

 Here is an example of what "miracles" we can work. The owners of this home in Andover, MN called us and asked if it was possible to get a ceiling fan in their study because of no breeze in that room. The study is on the main floor of a two story house with a finished basement and they wanted as little damage as possible so they did not need to repair drywall. What we did was access the ceiling space from the garage, install an expandable fan brace box and fish power to the fan brace box. The fan they purchased came with a remote control switch and the job was complete... no damage in the home. We did need to cut an access in the garage and you can see by the image that we did a good job removing and replacing the piece. The homeowner put duct tape on the seam that we cut.
