Lighting Installation and Repair Services in Boulder County, Colorado
Brighten Your Home with Expert Lighting Solutions
If you want lighting installed or updated in your home, I can help.
I'm Philip, owner of Handyman Philip. I'm fully insured and handle every job personally. Most lighting fixture replacements don't require a licensed electrician - they just require someone who works carefully, checks the existing wiring before touching anything, and installs fixtures level, secure, and clean. That's exactly how I work.
Lighting and electrical are listed separately because they draw different types of requests. Lighting jobs are almost always fixture swaps, additions, or upgrades - not panel work or new circuits. If you're not sure which category your job falls into, just ask.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you help me choose the right fixture?
I can offer a practical opinion - whether a fixture is appropriately sized for the space, whether the existing wiring supports it, and whether the installation will be straightforward. I'm not an interior designer, but I'll give you my honest take.
What if the existing wiring looks wrong when you open it up?
I'll stop, show you what I found, and explain the options. I won't patch over something that needs proper attention.
Do you do outdoor and security lighting?
Yes. Outdoor fixture replacements and security light installations are a common request and within my scope, as long as the wiring is already in place.
What's the difference between this page and your electrical page?
Lighting covers fixture installations and replacements. The electrical page covers outlets, switches, fans, detectors, and troubleshooting. There's some overlap - ceiling fans with light kits, for example - but if you're not sure, just describe your project and I'll point you to the right service.
How long does a typical lighting installation take?
A single fixture swap is usually 30–60 minutes. Multiple fixtures in one visit are handled efficiently - many clients do a whole-room update in one appointment.
