Get matched with top chandelier installation pros in Bethany, MO

This is definitely a matter of personal taste, but certain spaces might be better suited to recessed lighting than others. Areas where you need good task lighting, such as the laundry room, kitchen, or home office could be good candidates for recessed LED lighting. You also might choose to use it for a sleek, subtle lighting option in a living room where you want to highlight other aspects of the space.

It’s best to have the recommended support for any lighting fixture you install, and you could be risking injury to someone if you hang a chandelier without a stud. The chandelier could potentially fall, shatter, and hurt you or someone else, and you’ll need to have an additional hanging fixture, such as a hook to hold the lighting in place.

The cost to install recessed lighting, also known as can lights, averages about $360 per fixture, with a typical range of $100 to $480 per light. If you are replacing pre-existing lights where wiring is already in place, the cost may be lower, around $200 to $300 per fixture. The final price is influenced by several factors, including labor costs in your area, ceiling material, the type of housing and trim, bulb type, materials, accessibility, and whether new wiring or permits are required. Electricians may charge hourly at a rate of $85 to $105 per hour, or a flat rate of $200 to $250 per fixture.

Under-cabinet lights are typically affixed to mounts that are drilled into the cabinet using screws. Cable staples are used to secure the cords in place. Alternatively, tape lights can be attached directly to the underside of the cabinet using adhesive. These installation methods provide secure and versatile—and potentially removable—options for illuminating your kitchen space.
