Lower Bills, Better Light
Lighting is one of the easiest places to cut an electric bill, and with San Diego’s utility rates, the savings add up fast. Modern LED lighting uses a fraction of the energy of old incandescent and halogen bulbs, lasts far longer, and gives you cleaner, more consistent light. Sky Source Electric handles full LED retrofits and efficient lighting upgrades across San Diego County, and as a licensed C-10 electrical contractor with more than 20 years of experience, we do it in a way that looks great and performs.
An efficient lighting upgrade is about more than swapping bulbs. We replace dated recessed housings with slim LED units, update fixtures, add the right dimmers, and choose color temperatures that suit each room. Because we’re also a solar company, we can align your lighting upgrade with a residential solar plan so you’re using less power and generating your own. It’s a smart one-two punch for homeowners in Encinitas, San Marcos, and beyond who want to spend less every month.

Energy-Efficient Lighting Questions
How much can LED lighting save me?
LEDs use dramatically less energy than incandescent or halogen bulbs and last far longer, so both your energy use and replacement costs drop. The exact savings depend on how many fixtures you upgrade and how often they run.
Can you retrofit my existing recessed lights?
Yes. We replace old recessed housings and trims with slim, efficient LED units that fit cleanly and give a modern look, often without major ceiling work.
Does efficient lighting work with dimmers?
It does, with the right components. We pair LED fixtures with compatible dimmers so you get smooth dimming without flicker or buzz.
How is this different from standard lighting installation?
Our lighting installation service covers new fixtures and layouts of any kind. This service focuses specifically on efficiency and savings — retrofitting to LED and cutting your energy use, ideally alongside solar.
