Whether you’re tackling a new construction or a remodel, he breaks down real-world scenarios on an active job site—highlighting practical lighting solutions, installation techniques, and common on-site challenges like navigating ceiling joists and restricted framing.

Learn how wafer lights are revolutionizing ceiling installations, especially in tight or obstructed spaces, and why understanding your ceiling cavity depth matters.
