Lighting Design & Installation in Burnaby — Condos to Bungalows.
Burnaby is two lighting markets in one city — concrete condos around Metrotown and Brentwood that can't take traditional pot lights, and seventies bungalows in Edmonds and Government Road still running one fixture per room. ElectroMax Systems designs and installs for both: slim-LED and track systems where there's no ceiling cavity, full recessed layouts where there is. Planned first, wired to code, dimmed properly.
Lighting We Design & Install in Burnaby.
Condo towers and post-war bungalows need completely different approaches — here's both ends of our Burnaby schedule:
- Slim-profile LED and track systems for concrete condo ceilings — the Metrotown and Brentwood specialty
- Full recessed layouts in bungalows and split-levels with attic access
- Pendant and island fixtures for open-plan renovations
- LED-compatible dimmers and smart scenes, tested against your actual fixtures
- Under-cabinet and task lighting for kitchen updates
- Exterior and landscape lighting for yards and entryways
Whether you're on the twentieth floor at Brentwood or in a Deer Lake-area bungalow, the plan comes before the hole saw.
What Burnaby's Building Mix Means for Your Lighting.
The condo towers around Metrotown, Brentwood, and Edmonds have concrete slab ceilings — traditional recessed cans physically won't fit, so the job becomes slim LEDs, track, and cove lighting, plus whatever your strata requires for approval. The post-war bungalows and Vancouver Specials through Edmonds, Government Road, and Burnaby Heights are the opposite: attic access, hollow ceilings, and decades of one-dome-per-room lighting that's begging for a proper recessed layout. Some seventies stock also runs aluminum branch wiring, which changes how fixtures get connected — we check for it before quoting.

Burnaby lighting
questions.
Can you put pot lights in my Metrotown condo?
Not traditional cans — concrete slabs have no cavity. But slim-profile LEDs, track systems, and cove lighting deliver the same layered look, and we handle strata approval paperwork as part of the job.
My 1970s Burnaby home might have aluminum wiring — is lighting work still possible?
Yes, but it changes the connections. Aluminum branch wiring needs proper connectors and technique. We check during the site walk and quote the real job, not a surprise later.
Do I need a permit for lighting work in Burnaby?
Fixture swaps usually don't need one. New circuits for recessed layouts do — we file it and manage the inspection.
How long does a typical Burnaby bungalow lighting retrofit take?
A main-floor recessed layout — living room, kitchen, hallway — usually runs one to two days including cleanup and patch-ready holes.
Why do my new LED bulbs flicker?
Almost always the dimmer. Older dimmers can't regulate low-wattage LEDs — an LED-rated dimmer swap fixes it in one visit.
Can you install my own fixtures?
Yes. We'll confirm they suit your ceiling type and dimming during the quote, then mount and wire them to code.
