Where you place your lamp post is dependent on several factors. For example, if you’re installing a lamppost for aesthetic lighting purposes, you’ll want to consider placing it in a highly-visible spot or a location that illuminates a yard feature. Use it as a focal point of your outdoor living space or use it to light up a garden or walkway. Be sure, however, to avoid any obstructions like trees or other structures that might be in the way or will cast a shadow. 

In place of track lighting, you can consider recessed lighting for a sleek, unobtrusive look or pendant lights to add a decorative touch. Chandeliers can create a focal point, while wall sconces offer ambient or task lighting without taking up ceiling space. Each alternative offers unique advantages, catering to different styles and functional needs.

The average cost to install outdoor or landscape lighting is around $4,000, with most projects ranging from $2,000 to $6,000. The total cost can vary widely depending on several factors, including the number of fixtures, design complexity, and the type and quality of the lights used, such as wall sconces, pathway lights, or lamp posts. Other factors that influence the price are the square footage of the area being lit, the amount of electrical work needed, any required excavation or trenching, and local permitting costs. For specific types, you might pay around $100 for pathway or string lighting and up to $700 for lamp post lighting.

Wet-rated, recessed-style shower lighting is most often recommended by electrical experts for use in a shower. This is because recessed lights are designed with a sealed flush-to-ceiling mount with the light housing and electrical junction box situated in a hole in the ceiling, away from splashing water. The packaging for any light should detail whether it’s suitable for a shower.
