Can I install a ceiling light myself without existing wiring?

You can,

In most cases no, adding a ceiling light where no wiring exists requires installing a rated ceiling box, running new cable to a wall switch, and connecting to a suitable circuit. This is advanced electrical work with shock and fire risk, so it’s best handled by a licensed electrician. Endless Energy installs indoor, outdoor, and smart lighting and can advise on LED upgrades and rebates in areas like Weston and Boston.

• Plan the switch location and cable route.
• Verify circuit capacity before tapping power.
• Expect a technician to test and label the circuit.
