Light it up right

Commercial Lighting Installation in Gilbert, AZ

Good lighting sells product, keeps employees safe, and tells customers you run a tight ship. Bad lighting does the opposite — and quietly pads your utility bill every month it stays up.

AC/DC Electric installs commercial lighting across Gilbert and the East Valley: retail floors, offices, warehouses, restaurants, and building exteriors. It's a core part of our commercial electrical work. We're a licensed, bonded, and insured Arizona contractor, and we work 24/7 — which means your lighting install can happen at night while your doors stay open all day.

Every job gets a flat quote before we start. Call 480-695-4304 and tell us what you want lit.

Watch for these

Signs your lighting is costing you money

  • Fluorescent tubes flicker or hum
  • Dark corners on the sales floor or warehouse
  • The utility bill keeps creeping up
  • Emergency lights fail the test-button check
  • You're replacing lamps every few months
  • Exterior fixtures stay dead after dark

Exit & Emergency Lighting That Passes Inspection

Exit signs and egress lighting aren't optional — the fire marshal checks them, and failures can mean citations or a shutdown order. We install and repair exit signs, emergency heads, and the battery backups behind them, then test the system the way an outage would: kill the power and watch what stays lit. Batteries wear out quietly; a fixture can look fine for years and fail the one night it matters. If your emergency lighting hasn't been tested lately, put it on our list while we're on site.

LED Retrofits Without the Downtime

Swapping old fluorescent and metal halide fixtures for LED cuts energy use, drops maintenance, and makes the whole space look sharper. The catch: retrofits mean lifts, ladders, and dead fixtures overhead — none of which belong in a store full of customers. So we do retrofit work after hours. Close at nine, we work overnight, and you open with new lighting and zero lost sales.

Why AC/DC Electric

Lighting projects live or die on scheduling, and scheduling is where a 24/7 shop wins. We install when your building is empty — overnight, weekends, whatever your operation needs — and the flat quote you approve is the price you pay.

If your project includes site lighting too, we handle parking lot lighting and exterior work under the same roof, so one contractor covers the whole property.

FAQ

Straight answers

Can you install lighting without closing my store?

That's how we prefer to do it. We schedule installs overnight or on weekends so shelves stay stocked and registers stay open, and you walk in the next morning to finished lighting. Around-the-clock availability isn't just for emergencies — it's what lets us fit real construction work into a business that never wants to close.

Is an LED retrofit worth it in an older building?

Usually, yes — older buildings tend to see the biggest improvement because they're running the least efficient fixtures. Some retrofits reuse your existing housings with new LED lamps and bypassed ballasts; others replace the fixture entirely. We'll look at what's on your ceiling and quote both paths so you can compare the numbers.

How often should exit and emergency lights be tested?

Fire code calls for regular testing — a quick monthly function check plus a longer annual test that proves the batteries can carry the load through a real outage. Most failures we find are dead batteries inside fixtures that look perfectly fine. We can test your system and replace what fails before the fire marshal finds it first.

Do you install lighting controls?

Yes. Occupancy sensors, timers, photocells, and dimming controls are part of most lighting jobs we quote. Controls stop lights from burning in empty rooms, which is often the cheapest energy win in the building. We'll recommend controls where they make sense and skip them where they don't.
