Can I Replace Normal Lights with LED Lights Myself?
Yes, you can replace standard screw-in bulbs with LED bulbs yourself if the base matches and the LED wattage does not exceed the fixture’s rating. For hardwired fixture swaps, recessed conversions, new dimmers, or tall ceilings, hire an electrician. Many Nashville and Brentwood homes have older dimmers that need LED-rated models to prevent flicker.
- Cut power at the switch; at the breaker for fixtures.
- Match base type and stay within the fixture’s wattage.
- Use dimmable LEDs with LED-rated dimmers.
