How many lights does a room need?

It depends on room size, ceiling height and fixture output. A layout is usually planned rather than guessed.

Can existing lights be put on a dimmer?

Usually, if the fixtures are dimmable and the dimmer is matched to the LED load. Mismatched combinations cause flicker and buzz.

Will the ceiling need patching?

Cut openings are covered by the trim, but adjacent work or older textured ceilings can require touch-up. Confirm who handles finishing.

Does this need a new circuit?

LED loads are small, so an existing lighting circuit often suffices. Larger layouts or added zones may warrant a new circuit.

Do outdoor outlets need GFCI protection?

Yes. Outdoor receptacles require GFCI protection, and outdoor locations also require weather-resistant devices and in-use covers.
