Exterior Lighting questions, answered by experts

Several types of light fixtures are available, each requiring different installation techniques. Keep in mind that you’ll need to hire a lighting specialist to install the majority of these fixture types.

Here are some of the most common light fixture options:

  • Ceiling-mounted fixtures: $90–$230

  • Pendant lights: $95–$250

  • Chandeliers: $300–$2,000

  • Track lighting: $100–$250

  • Wall-mounted lights: $90–$250

  • Fluorescent lights: $85–$220

  • Light bars: $330–$440

While wet-rated and damp-rated lighting is designed to handle contact with moisture, there’s a difference between the two. Wet-rated lighting is safety-rated to be placed in areas with direct exposure to water, including your shower. Fixtures classed as wet-rated are made with waterproof seals to protect the filament and other electrical components from water and moisture. 

Damp-rated fixtures can be used in places with some moisture contact, but not direct exposure. They don’t have the same waterproof seals used in wet-rated fixtures. Damp-rated lighting can be used on your bathroom ceiling or along a wall outside of your shower.

LED lights last much longer than conventional incandescent light bulbs. Most manufacturers estimate that LED bulbs can last between 10 and 15 years, but they more often last between four and seven years with regular use. Other factors, such as heat exposure and surging electrical currents, can cause an LED bulb to burn out prematurely.

In this category, homeowners provide materials. Some installers may offer advice on suitable options.

LED lights offer a range of benefits. In addition to lasting for a long time, LED lights are energy efficient and can put less demand on both your energy bill and the environment. They’re also made from durable materials and function in extreme conditions, which means they won’t easily break or shatter.
