Lighting - electrician vs contractor

What do you guys prefer to use for lighting work, a licensed electrician or a contractor. Electrician is a little more expensive but I think it might be worth the piece of mind. Looking to add a whole lot of recessed lighting to a home I just purchased.

A electricians more money than a general contractor because it's a skilled job and they have a professional license to do it. In NJ home improvement contractors are not allowed to do electric. theyre not insured for it either.
