Recessed Lighting in NYC Apartments — What You Need to Know

Recessed lighting is the #1 lighting upgrade we install in NYC apartments. Here’s what’s involved in a typical NYC apartment recessed lighting project:

Ceiling type matters: Plaster ceilings in pre-war buildings require different cans than drywall. We know the difference.
IC vs non-IC rated: If you have insulation above the ceiling (common in top-floor units), you need IC-rated fixtures. Required by NYC code.
New circuit vs existing: For larger recessed lighting projects, we may need to add a circuit or upgrade the panel. We assess this during the quote.
Permits: Adding new circuits for lighting may require a DOB permit. We handle that.
