CountBricks: How Much Does It Cost to Install Lighting?

How Much Does It Cost to Install Lighting in a Home?

The very first question homeowners ask when planning a remodel is simple: how much does it cost to install lighting? Labor rates, fixture style, wiring distance, and local code requirements all play a part, so “it depends” is never a satisfying answer. At CountBricks, we turn uncertainty into clear numbers by combining real-time material pricing, regional labor benchmarks, and AI-powered takeoffs pulled straight from your blueprints.

Average Residential Lighting Installation Costs

Across Southern California—and most urban markets—homeowners typically invest between $225 and $950 per fixture, fully installed. That range is wide because each job has unique variables, yet CountBricks data shows the following trend lines:

• Basic flush mount swap-outs: $125 – $275 each

• Pendant or chandelier replacements (standard ceiling height): $250 – $450 each

• Recessed can additions with new wiring: $325 – $550 each

• Smart fixtures or specialty LED strips with drivers: $450 – $950 each
