We’re starting our lighting project for the kitchen, living room, and laundry. The kitchen and laundry have one big light in the middle of the ceiling, and the living room only has two can lights over the mantel. We want to remove the current lights and install can lights. Unfortunately, that means drilling through joists blindly to run wire. My thought was to drill small holes in the drywall so that I can get an inspection scope on each side of the joist so I can see if there’s electrical or plumbing on the other side. This will require patching of those holes before the ceiling is sprayed. The kitchen won’t be bad as I’ll only have to go through 5 joists; the living room will be twice that. I do have a flex bit that I’ll be using.
Is there any other options or tips on how to do this?
As far as power to the lights, I’m hoping to find the wires that are running to the current lights to use those.
