Can I install a ceiling light myself without existing wiring?
You can, but installing a ceiling light without existing wiring is a complex, licensed electrical job. It typically requires a code-rated ceiling box, new cable runs, a new switch box, and tying into an existing or new circuit. Many projects also need AFCI/GFCI protection, panel or circuit upgrades, and a permit with inspection. Over the Moon handles design, wiring, permitting, installation, testing, and cleanup for interior lighting and smart dimmers in Milwaukee and Waukesha.
