Hey guys, hope everyone’s well. I have a customer who wants to add 4 more can lights to a dining room contains one light in the center of the room. I’m going to turn the current light into a recessed can light and pull my switch let’s to my other 4 can lights from that light. There is no attic above, and they don’t want drywall damage so I planned on using my long flex bit to drill through the joists from my center light. We know there is no plumbing running in the joist but my question is: what are some methods of drilling with a flex bit so I don’t accidentally hit a wire that is running in the ceiling? I was thinking of using an ac detector on a stud finder but the ceiling is lath and plaster with drywall on top of it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
