Good lighting changes how a home feels. The right fixtures make a room warmer. The right outdoor lights make the home safer at night. The right smart setup makes daily life easier.
Keefe’s has been wiring New Orleans homes since 1979. From historic Uptown houses to newer Northshore builds, we know how local homes are wired and where lighting upgrades will actually help. When you call, a real person picks up, and we give you a clear arrival window.
On site, we walk you through the plan in plain language. You will get honest options in writing before any work begins. No surprise fees. No upsells. Just real answers and a fair price.
Lighting does more than help you see. It affects comfort, safety, energy bills, and curb appeal. Here is how we think about it on every visit.

Smart Lighting

A well‑lit room almost always uses three types of lighting at once. We help you mix them so the room feels right at any time of day.
|
1
Ambient lightingThe main light in the room. Usually recessed lights, a flush mount, or a chandelier. |
2
Task lightingFocused light for cooking, reading, or working. Under‑cabinet lights and pendants are great examples. |
3
Accent lightingLight that adds depth. Wall sconces, picture lights, and uplighting all fall in this group. |
Outdoor lighting in South Louisiana has to handle heat, humidity, and storms. We use weather‑rated fixtures and proper wiring so your lights hold up year after year.
Every lighting project we quote in New Orleans includes the same three things, in writing, before we start.
|
1
A simple optionThe cleanest, most affordable way to solve the problem or add the lights you want. |
2
An upgraded optionA better fixture, smart setup, or fuller layout when it actually adds value to your home. |
3
A “wait” optionWhen it is fine to wait or do it in phases, we will tell you. No pressure, no scare tactics. |
Every quote is broken out line by line. You see exactly what each fixture, switch, and circuit costs. No mystery flat rates, no surprises, no “today only” deals.
Usually, yes. Many Uptown, Mid‑City, and Carrollton homes have plaster ceilings or limited attic space. We plan each cut, fish wires carefully, and pick fixtures that fit the joists and the ceiling type. The goal is to add light without damaging the home.
For most homes, yes. LED bulbs use far less energy than older bulbs and can last up to 25 times longer. You change them less, pay less to run them, and many work great with dimmers.
Sometimes. If we are adding lights to a circuit that is already full, or your panel is older, we may need a new circuit or a panel upgrade. We check this before any install and explain it before we start.
Yes. We install smart switches and bulbs that work with apps and voice assistants. You can turn lights on or off from anywhere, set schedules, and create scenes for entertaining or movie nights.
A mix tends to work best. Motion lights near doors and driveways. Steady dusk‑to‑dawn lights along paths and entries. And accent lights to remove dark corners around the yard. We help you plan a layout that adds safety without making the home look harsh.
For most homes, we can plan the layout with you on site. If you already have an interior designer, we work with their plan. If you do not, we walk you through where the lights should go and why.
Yes, and it is free. Bring us any written proposal and we will go through it with you, line by line. There is no obligation to use Keefe’s.

Signs It’s Time to Upgrade Your Lighting
Not sure if it’s time for a lighting upgrade? Here are some common signs that professional lighting fixture installation may benefit your home:
Lighting plays a critical role both inside and outside your home.
Layered lighting, combining ambient, task, and accent lighting, creates depth and dimension within your rooms. Recessed lighting installation provides even general illumination, while pendant lights and chandeliers add character. Under-cabinet lighting supports daily tasks and adds subtle elegance. Our licensed electricians ensure that all lighting fixture installations are code-compliant and properly integrated into your existing electrical system.
In a city known for its beautiful architecture and vibrant culture, your home’s exterior lighting should shine just as brightly. Landscape lighting highlights unique design elements and improves nighttime navigation. Security lighting protects your property while maintaining a welcoming atmosphere. From subtle pathway lights to dramatic uplighting, our professional lighting installation services enhance both beauty and safety.
Modern lighting technology offers more flexibility and efficiency than ever before.
LED bulbs use significantly less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs and can last up to 25 times longer. Upgrading during your lighting fixture installation can reduce maintenance costs and lower utility bills.
Dimmer switches offer adjustable brightness levels, letting you set the perfect mood while conserving energy.
Smart lighting systems allow homeowners to control lighting remotely, schedule automatic on/off times, and integrate with other smart home features. Whether you want to turn on the lights before you arrive home or create preset scenes for entertaining, automation adds convenience and efficiency.
The timeline depends on the project’s scope. Simple lighting install jobs may take just a few hours, while larger projects involving multiple rooms or recessed lighting installation may require a day or more.
