Frequently Asked Questions

• How much does it cost to install commercial lighting?

  At Daven Electric Corp., the cost to install commercial lighting depends on several factors:

  • Type of lighting (LED, recessed, pendant, etc.)
  • Size and layout of your building
  • Electrical system condition
  • Required permits and code compliance
  • Labor, materials, and control systems

  On average, installation ranges from $3 to $12 per square foot, but for more complex designs or specialty spaces, it can go higher. As a trusted commercial electrical contractor, we’ll provide a clear estimate based on your layout, energy goals, and lighting needs.

  For accurate pricing:

  1. We assess your property in person.
  2. Review your lighting goals (e.g., energy savings, aesthetics, safety).
  3. Build a plan that meets NEC codes and your budget.

  Hiring a qualified commercial electrician ensures your system is safe, reliable, and up to code. We also offer warranties and emergency services, so you’re covered long after the installation.

• How much does it cost to repair commercial lighting?

  The cost of commercial lighting repair depends on the issue. As a licensed commercial electrical contractor, we see a range of common service calls:

  • Replacing faulty ballasts or drivers: $75–$200
  • LED retrofit or fixture swaps: $100–$500
  • Wiring or circuit troubleshooting: $150–$600
  • Emergency lighting repair: $200–$700+ depending on urgency

  Prices vary based on access, building size, and the complexity of the system. Some systems involve lighting automation and advanced controls, which may take longer to diagnose and repair.

  We always recommend:

  • Scheduling an inspection if you notice flickering or dim lights
  • Fixing electrical issues quickly to prevent downtime or safety risks
  • Working with a licensed commercial electrician to meet local code and safety standards

  We keep your business running without unnecessary delays or surprises—and back our work with warranties.

• What is the difference between residential and commercial lighting?

  We get this one often. As a commercial electrical contractor, here’s how we break it down:

  Commercial lighting is built for performance and efficiency on a larger scale. Here’s how it differs:

  1. Power & Load:

  • Commercial systems use higher voltages (277V+)
  • Requires load balancing, dedicated circuits, and often three-phase power.

  2. Design & Scale:

  • Designed for large areas like offices, warehouses, and retail
  • Involve advanced controls, automation, and sensor tech

  3. Compliance & Safety:

  • Must meet National Electrical Code (NEC), ADA, OSHA, and local codes
  • Emergency and exit lighting is mandatory

  4. Maintenance Needs:

  • More frequent inspections
  • Professional commercial electrician required for service and upgrades

  Residential lighting is more straightforward, usually running on 120V, and doesn’t need commercial systems’ complexity or safety measures.

• What is the most common commercial lighting?

  As a commercial electrical contractor, we install and service many lighting types, but these are the most common in Brooklyn commercial spaces:

  • LED Troffers: Common in offices, drop ceilings, and schools
  • High Bay & Low Bay Lights: Ideal for warehouses and manufacturing
  • Track Lighting: Used in retail and showrooms
  • Panel Lights & Recessed Fixtures: Clean look, great for offices
  • Wall Packs & Floodlights: Used outdoors for security and visibility

  Why are LED lights the most popular?

  • Lower energy use (up to 75% less than incandescent)
  • Longer lifespan (50,000+ hours)
  • Qualify for Energy Star rebates and incentives
  • Better light quality with less heat output

  Our commercial electrician team recommends LED upgrades for nearly every business, especially during a commercial lighting retrofit.

• What is considered commercial lighting?

  Commercial lighting refers to any lighting system installed in non-residential buildings for business use. At Daven Electric Corp., we work with a wide range of properties that require specialized lighting systems, including:

  • Office buildings
  • Retail stores and shopping centers
  • Restaurants and cafes
  • Warehouses and manufacturing plants
  • Medical and educational facilities
  • Parking lots and garages

  As a licensed commercial electrical contractor, we design and install:

  • Overhead fixtures
  • LED systems
  • Emergency and exit lighting
  • Outdoor and security lights
  • Lighting control systems

  These systems are built to support productivity, safety, and code compliance. Unlike residential setups, commercial lighting must follow NEC guidelines, support higher electrical loads, and often include energy-efficient upgrades and lighting control and automation.

  For any business or facility manager looking to upgrade, repair, or expand lighting, our team of experienced commercial electricians is ready to help.
