Lighting Installation Cost Breakdown

1. Recessed LED Lighting (Can & Canless Wafer Lights)

A standard ceiling recessed LED light installation in a home with 9-to-10-foot ceilings typically ranges from $150 to $300 per fixture.

• Retrofit (Existing Switch Circuit): $150 – $220 per light fixture.
• New Wiring Run & Dimmer Switch: $250 – $350 per light fixture.
• Attic Access Factor: Homes in Bonita Springs or Estero with accessible attic space allow wire runs without drywall cutting, keeping costs at the lower end.

2. Chandeliers, Foyer Lights & Vaulted Ceiling Scaffolding

Standard dining room chandelier replacement ranges from $250 to $450. However, high foyer ceilings in luxury Naples and Marco Island estates present unique installation factors:

• High Ceilings (15 to 20+ feet): Installation ranges from $600 to $1,200. High installations require multi-tier scaffolding or specialized lifts to ensure worker safety.
• Motorized Chandelier Lifts: Installing an automated motorized winch system for easy cleaning averages $1,200 to $2,200 in hardware and wiring.

3. Outdoor Lanai & Landscape Lighting Packages

Illuminating your outdoor living space, pool deck, and palm trees protects your property while creating nighttime curb appeal:

• Basic 6-to-8 Fixture Package (Pathways & Up-lights): $1,200 – $2,200 including low-voltage transformer.
• Premium 12-to-18 Fixture Estate Package: $2,800 – $5,500 with brass weatherproof fixtures and zone-controlled transformers.

4. Smart Lighting Control Premiums (Lutron / Control4)

Upgrading to a smart lighting system adds approximately $80 to $180 per wall switch for smart dimmers (such as Lutron Caséta or RadioRA3), plus setup and programming fees.
