Pot Lights & Lighting in Mississauga & the GTA
Slim LED pot lights indoors, airtight pot lights in the soffits outside, and the switches and dimmers to run them. Priced per light, and you can see your own price online.
What it costs
| Per light, installed | |
|---|---|
| Indoor pot light — 4" super slim LED | $65 |
| Outdoor pot light — airtight, in the soffit | $100 |
Larger jobs get a volume discount, and the estimator works it out from the exact number of lights. Dimmers, smart switches and a new circuit where there is no switched one to pick up are priced on top, and the ESA permit is on its own line.
Colour, and why it matters
Every light comes in 3000K, 4000K or 5000K. 3000K is warm, close to an old bulb, and suits living rooms and bedrooms. 4000K is a neutral white that most people like in kitchens. 5000K is crisp daylight — good in a garage or workshop, harsh in a bedroom. Pick one per room; mixed colours in one space look like a mistake.
How we lay them out
Indoors, even spacing is everything. A row that drifts or a gap that changes halfway across a room is the first thing anyone notices. We set the grid before we cut a hole.
Outdoors, the house decides. Soffit lights line up with the windows, the doors and the ends of the wall, because the house is already built and its openings are not evenly spaced. Symmetry to the openings looks right from the street; a tape-measure grid does not.

The permit
New pot lights mean new wiring, and new wiring in Ontario is notified to the Electrical Safety Authority. We file it and the inspection follows. Like-for-like swaps of existing lights usually do not need one.
