Pirro Electric handles recessed lighting for homeowners, businesses, and property managers in Ashburn, VA. Work is scoped on site, quoted in writing, permitted, and inspected before we call it done. Typical scope: new-construction and retrofit recessed cans (4" and 6"), led disk and wafer lights for low-clearance ceilings, and under-cabinet and toe-kick lighting.
Ashburn is one of the youngest housing markets in the DMV, but ten- to twenty-year-old homes are now hitting the wall on EV charging, heat-pump conversions, and home-office loads. Original 100-amp services and basic panels are routinely getting replaced.
Layout Matters More Than the Fixture
Most disappointing recessed jobs aren't because the lights are bad - they're because the spacing and beam angles were wrong. We lay out cans on actual square footage, not by guessing, so you get even light without dark corners or hot spots.
Standard rule of thumb: divide ceiling height by two for spacing in feet. 8-foot ceilings → 4-foot spacing. We adjust for room shape, beams, HVAC runs, and where the kitchen island actually sits.
Wafer LEDs for Tight Spaces
If you have a finished basement with low joists, or a second floor with an unfinished attic above, traditional cans may not fit. Wafer LEDs are 1/2-inch thick, install through a 4" or 6" hole, and let us light spaces where cans simply won't work.
