Types of Lighting We Install
We install all types of indoor and outdoor lighting for Columbus homeowners.
-
Recessed Lighting
Recessed lights sit flush with the ceiling. They provide clean, modern lighting without taking up any visual space. Recessed lighting installation works great in kitchens, living rooms, bathrooms, hallways, and even finished basements. Most Columbus homes need about 4 to 6 recessed lights per room for nice, even coverage.
-
Pendant and Chandelier Lighting
These add style and focused light over kitchen islands, dining room tables, and entryways. We handle the wiring, mounting, and installation so your fixtures hang level and look great, too.
-
Outdoor and Landscape Lighting
Landscape lighting installation highlights your yard’s best features: trees, pathways, gardens, and architecture. Outdoor lighting installation for porches, patios, and decks extends your usable outdoor space. We use weatherproof fixtures designed for Ohio’s weather: rain, snow, and any temperature swings.
-
Security Lighting
Security lighting installation near garage doors and dark areas of your property deters intruders and improves safety. Motion-activated lights turn on automatically when someone approaches, giving you peace of mind.
-
LED Upgrades
LED lighting installation replaces old incandescent, halogen, or CFL bulbs with energy-efficient LEDs. We can retrofit existing fixtures or install new LED-specific lights.

“John Villars came to service my home‚ our electrical needs/repairs. He was prompt, polite and professional throughout his work visit. I had a new breaker box put in so that I could be grounded and up to code. He also updated a couple of electrical sockets and an outdoor one as well. I plan to have them back to correct two more items in my older home. He is so quiet and efficient and the price I feel was very reasonable!”
Jonathan Villars, Electrical Install
“Had issues with outside GFI outlet. Alec arrived on time and listened to the problem and replaced the outside GFI outlet. The issue didn’t occur again, but he still gave input on next steps if the problem recurs. I was impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. He listened to me, and that doesn’t always happen with all companies. This is the second time I have used Five Star and I am now using them for everything HVAC, Plumbing, or Electrical.”

Signs You Need Lighting Installation
If you notice any of these issues, it's time to schedule professional lighting installation in Columbus.
-
Your Rooms Feel Dark
Even with all the lights on, does your space feel more dungeon than dining room? Adding recessed or LED lighting fixes this.
-
You’re Still Using Old Fixtures
If you’re using light fixtures over 15 years old, they’re outdated and inefficient. Modern LED lighting uses less energy and gives you better light quality.
-
You Have Flickering Lights
Watch out for flickering lights, since they can mean loose wiring, a bad switch, or an incompatible dimmer. It’s a safety issue that we can take care of during an electrical inspection.
-
Your Outdoor Spaces Are Dark
If you’re coming home late and can’t see your driveway, porch, or walkways, it’s time to invest in outdoor lighting. Plus, it allows you to utilize your property after sunset.
-
You’re Planning a Remodel
Kitchen and bathroom remodels are the perfect time to upgrade your lighting. Recessed lighting installation during a renovation gives you the layout and brightness you want from the jump..
-
You Want Smart Lighting
Smart lights let you control the brightness, color, and schedule from your phone. Without professional lighting installation, it can be a bit confusing to set up, so we can handle that for you at Five Star..

Common Reasons Columbus Homeowners Upgrade Their Lighting
-
Improve Visibility and Functionality
Shadowy, dark rooms make even the most mundane tasks a challenge. Maybe you have poor kitchen lighting that makes cooking harder, or a dim bathroom light that makes grooming a challenge. Something like recessed lighting gives you even, bright light exactly where you need it.
-
Increase Safety and Security
It may not seem like it on the surface, but poorly lit walkways, dark staircases, and unlit yards are big safety hazards. That’s where outdoor lighting comes in; it’ll help you see where you’re going. Likewise, security lighting near doorways and garages will help deter break-ins and give you peace of mind. You can even try motion-activated lights for an added layer of protection.
-
Update Your Home’s Look
Don’t let outdated lighting in your home make people think they stepped back into the 1980s. It’s not hard to update your lighting. Try replacing ceiling fans with recessed lighting, or adding modern pendants or chandeliers for a more current look. Plus, LED lighting installation gives you bright light and color accuracy.
-
Save Money on Energy Bills
Old incandescent and halogen bulbs waste energy as heat. This is where LED lighting comes in. They cut your costs by 75% and last a lot longer. You could get away with not replacing them for years. Over time, those savings really add up. Most Columbus homeowners save around $225 per year by switching to LED lights.
-
Boost Curb Appeal
You should be proud of your property’s landscape! Quality outdoor lighting highlights it for you, along with your home’s architecture and trees after dark. It’ll give your property a polished, welcoming look and feel. Plus, well-paced outdoor lights add a lot of curb appeal, and accent lighting really accentuates stone walls, water features, or mature trees.
