San Diego’s coastal lifestyle is all about light, space, and efficiency. Yet thousands of homes still run on outdated incandescent or compact-fluorescent fixtures that drain energy and flatten interior design. A modern San Diego Lighting Upgrade replaces those legacy fixtures with recessed LEDs, smart dimmers, and accent lighting that matches California’s Title 24 energy code. CountBricks delivers this transformation faster and more accurately than any traditional estimator thanks to our real-time AI platform.
Traditional pencil-and-paper estimates often miss hidden variables—from attic access to existing circuit loads—leaving homeowners with surprise change orders. CountBricks eliminates guesswork by combining voice-controlled blueprint takeoffs with the most recent San Diego material pricing database. Within minutes, you receive:
• A line-item estimate for fixtures, rough-in, wiring, and controls
• Labor hours calculated from historical San Diego residential data
• Permitting and Title 24 documentation costs
• Automatic contingency allowances so you stay on budget
• Up to 80 % lower energy consumption after replacing incandescent cans with LED trims
• Cooler ceilings that reduce HVAC load during sunny San Diego afternoons
• App-based dimming and color temperature control for every room
• Increased home value by aligning with buyer expectations for smart, efficient lighting

“LED light is harsh.” Modern fixtures deliver 90+ CRI color accuracy and adjustable warmth.
“I have to tear out drywall everywhere.” Our retrofit can housings slip through a single 4-inch hole, preserving ceilings.
“Smart lighting is complicated to use.” CountBricks pre-programs scenes; you control them from any smartphone or voice assistant within minutes.
• Confirm your Wi-Fi signal in areas where smart switches will be added
• Paint ceiling touch-ups before installing trims to avoid spatter on new lenses
• Choose consistent color temperature (e.g., 3000 K) throughout open-concept spaces for a unified feel
• Install dimmers rated for LED loads to prevent flicker
• Ask CountBricks about adding a whole-house surge protector during the same service call
