You can install pendant lights almost anywhere you would install a ceiling light. Shade-up or bowl pendants are great anywhere you want ambient light. Shade-down lights can add focused light to any location. Pendant lights complement common types of kitchen lighting, like recessed lights and chandeliers. They also look great over a bar, pool table, or vanity. 

Installing a light fixture usually takes about one to two hours for a standard ceiling-mounted fixture, and longer for more extensive installations. The installation time can vary depending on the type of fixture, whether you’re installing a new fixture or replacing an old one, and any additional wiring or drywall work required to finish around the new fixture. When hiring an electrician to install your light fixture, ask them to provide a time estimate based on the specifics of your project.

Low-voltage landscape lighting costs about $120 per fixture to install. You may need to install a 12-volt transformer, too, to ensure the lighting system runs safely. For a six-fixture low-voltage landscape lighting setup, expect to pay around $1,000. A major reason people choose low-voltage landscape lighting is to reduce the risk of shock, making it safer to operate the outdoor lighting system.

The cost of installing light fixtures can vary due to the wide range of factors that affect the price. The type of lighting fixture, ranging from track lighting to a chandelier, impacts the installation cost, with ceiling-mounted fixtures being the most budget-friendly. You should also consider the labor costs associated with removing the existing light fixture, if necessary, and installing the new one. Don’t forget that the purchase price of the new or replacement fixture is separate from the installation price tag.
