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.

LED lights are certainly more energy-efficient, using 75% less energy than incandescent bulbs—this can help you save on your utility bills during what is an already expensive holiday season. In addition, LED lights last much longer than incandescent bulbs, about 25% longer. That said, they are also a bit more expensive than incandescent Christmas lights, and emit a bluish hue which some people don't like, compared to the golden glow of an incandescent bulb.

Solar landscape lighting is the easiest type of outdoor lighting to install. Because these lights don’t require being hardwired to an electrical connection, installation consists of simply staking the lights into the ground, with no wires required. Solar lights are a good option for houses without outdoor outlets or for areas that are much farther from the house itself.

To achieve the optimal lighting output from your under-cabinet lights, position the LED tape towards the front of the cabinet with the LEDs facing downward. For effective illumination of the work surface and backsplash, place the tape light approximately one to two inches behind the cabinet's front edge. This mounting configuration is especially suitable for dull or matte surfaces.
