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. 

It’s generally best to have your chandelier hang over the center of your dining table. If you’re installing your chandelier first or changing recessed lighting to a chandelier, you might find a table afterward and arrange the room around the chandelier.

If you’ve already furnished the space and are choosing where to place your lighting, hang the fixture directly over the table so everyone is well-lit while they dine.

Just as fluorescent lights are more efficient than incandescent lights, LED lights are more efficient to run than fluorescent lights. The specifics will vary from product to product, but LED lights are typically twice as efficient as equivalent fluorescent lights. A 13-watt CFL bulb can replace a 60-watt incandescent bulb, but a 6- to 8-watt LED bulb can offer the same amount of brightness. Fluorescent lights offer about 50 lumens per watt, while LEDs offer about 100 lumens per watt. LED light bulbs typically last two to three times as long as CFL bulbs, too.
