Common Light Fixture Service Questions

When installing a chandelier in a high-ceiling room of two stories or more, don't let it hang any lower than the first floor. This job will require an extra tall ladder or scaffold, which may require a professional. Installing a light fixture costs between $150 and $1,500, depending on the expertise and supplies necessary to hang the fixture.

Due to safety concerns, always check with a local professional before completing this kind of project. There are many professionals who specialize in heavy lighting installation. 

No, sconces don’t have to be hardwired, but they can be for a more permanent solution. Sconces come in various styles, sizes, and finishes as well as types of installation. Plug-in wall sconces can be plugged into a nearby outlet, and battery-powered sconces can be mounted to the wall. 

Most ceiling light fixtures only have a black, white, and green wire, but in some cases, you’ll also find a red wire in the box. This is a second hot wire, like the black wire, and is included for ceiling light kits that have a fan.

Since your wall sconces have puck lights inside, it’s best to hang them at eye level to conceal the area underneath the shade. The ideal height will also depend on the direction of the sconce—if your shades face downward you’ll want to hang them slightly lower, while upward-facing sconces can be placed a bit higher.

A wall-mounting light fitting is called a sconce. Traditionally, sconces were placed along walls in a home to hold candles or torches for lighting. The electrical counterparts with lightbulbs serve an identical purpose, often lighting up hallways. Sconces come in a wide range of shapes and sizes. Changing a light fixture mounted on a wall requires the same basic steps as replacing a ceiling light.
