Flickering Lights: Often caused by loose wiring or incompatible dimmer switches.
Overheating: Can occur if the lights are not properly insulated or ventilated.
Uneven Lighting: May result from improper spacing or incorrect bulb wattage.
Buzzing Sounds: Usually caused by faulty transformers or low-quality bulbs.

At Smart Wires, we’re here to diagnose and resolve any issues with your recessed lighting, ensuring it performs flawlessly for years to come.
