Frequently Asked Questions
Can I just swap in LED bulbs myself?
For standard screw-base sockets, yes. But many fixtures — especially fluorescent tubes, recessed cans, and older fixtures — require compatible LED components or new fixtures to work correctly and safely. Joel Watsky Electric ensures everything is properly matched and wired.
Will LED lights work with my existing dimmer switches?
Not always. Many older dimmer switches are not compatible with LED bulbs and can cause flickering or reduced lifespan. We replace incompatible dimmers with LED-compatible models as part of the upgrade.
How much can I save by switching to LED?
It depends on how many fixtures you're upgrading and how often they're used, but most homeowners see a meaningful reduction in their lighting-related electricity costs. LEDs also last far longer, reducing replacement costs over time.
Do you do commercial LED upgrades?
Yes. Joel Watsky Electric upgrades lighting for offices, retail spaces, warehouses, and other commercial properties across Delmarva. We can handle large-scale projects and work around your schedule to minimize disruption.
