Benefits

Lighting for the Future

We specify fixtures and controls that evolve with your lifestyle. From Lutron RadioRA 3 and Caséta to Control4 integration, we deploy scalable smart lighting platforms with scene-setting, vacation modes, and voice/app control. Tunable white (circadian) and color-changing solutions, including Lutron Ketra, create gallery-quality results. We standardize on high-CRI LED fixtures, 0–10V or ELV dimming drivers, and updatable hubs for longevity—ensuring your West Hollywood home keeps pace with design trends and technology upgrades.

Full Compliance Every Step

Shaffer Construction manages your permit submittals, plan sets, and inspections with the City of West Hollywood Building and Safety Division. We design to the California Electrical Code, Title 24 lighting control requirements, and NFPA 70/70E safety practices. For condos, we coordinate HOA architectural approvals, fire-rated penetration details, and common-area access. We provide load calculations, panel schedules, fixture spec sheets, and control risers to ensure smooth approvals and zero surprises at inspection.

Expert Craftsmanship You Trust

Expect clean lines, quiet dimming, and long-term reliability. We use UL-listed junction boxes, plenum-rated cabling where required, and premium LEDs with 90+ CRI for accurate color rendering. Our team matches dimmers to driver types (ELV, MLV, 0–10V, TRIAC) to eliminate flicker and hum, and we seal penetrations with approved firestop systems. Every connection is torqued to spec, circuits are labeled, and we provide a detailed as-built package for maintenance and resale value.

Tailored Lighting Design

We start with a lighting walk-through to understand your art, finishes, ceiling types, and desired moods. Then we produce a layered lighting plan—ambient, task, and accent—paired with fixture schedules and control zones. For condos with concrete ceilings, we propose wafer LEDs, track, or architectural surface fixtures to achieve a recessed look without invasive work. You’ll see placement diagrams, dimmer groupings, and a clear budget before we pull a single wire.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit in West Hollywood to replace or add lighting in my condo?+

Like-for-like fixture swaps may not require a permit, but adding new circuits, relocating junction boxes, or significant control upgrades typically do. The City of West Hollywood Building and Safety Division oversees electrical permits, and many projects are approved in 1–3 weeks. We review your scope, advise on permitting, coordinate HOA approvals, and manage all submittals and inspections for a smooth sign-off.

My high-rise condo has concrete ceilings—can I still get a recessed look?+

Yes. We often use ultra-thin LED wafer downlights that require minimal depth, or we design with low-profile architectural surface fixtures and track systems to mimic a recessed aesthetic. We map slab post-tensioning, avoid penetrations that risk structure or fire ratings, and select drivers and dimmers (ELV or 0–10V) to achieve smooth, flicker-free dimming without invasive construction.

Will new LED lighting meet California Title 24 requirements in my home?+

We specify high-efficacy LED fixtures and controls that align with Title 24, including vacancy/occupancy sensors and dimming where applicable. For remodels, we document fixtures, drivers, and control zones, and ensure code-required lighting in baths, kitchens, and garages meets efficacy and control standards. Our plans help pass inspection the first time, and we program scenes for comfortable everyday use.
