Cost Considerations
Installing recessed lighting costs about $100 to $200 per light. If there are obstacles in the ceiling such as joists or heating ducts that get in the way of installation, this will add to the cost.
Costs vary greatly by region (and even by zip code). To get free estimates from local contractors, please indicate yours.
