Pot Light Installation \u2013 How Much Does It Cost?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Pot lights in the electrical industry are known as downlights or can lights. This is a very convenient lighting design achieved by installing the fixture in the ceiling hole of the room. It’s quite popular in new constructions. So how much can you expect to pay for pot light installation? The answer hinges on a few variables, but the average cost to install up to three can lights will range between $250<\/strong> to $500<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before going into detail, RG Electric<\/a> will explain the factors affecting the final price. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Labor Costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pot light installation by a professional will cost you money, and skilled electricians aren’t cheap. An hourly rate for electrical work is between $50 <\/strong>and $100<\/strong>, with the average sticking at $75<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Installation Materials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The cost of the installation materials will take a large portion of the total cost of the installation. The materials must comply with the NEC requirements. RG Electric works only with high-quality materials to ensure safety and efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Light Fixtures and Amenities <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The cost of pot light will vary depending on the type and specifications of the light fixture. For example, if you are looking to upgrade recessed lighting to Spec-grade LED lights, it will cost you more than consumer-grade lights.

Typically, a high price points to better quality and more features, such as more options for light output, adjustable color temperature, etc. Finally, be ready to pay for dimmer or smart dimmer switches and a wireless bridge \u2013hardware necessary for dimmer installations.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Installation Time <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another factor affecting the pot installation price is the time. The amount of time it takes to do the work will vary depending on many factors, like your ceiling height and type, the age of the home, what is above the room, and whether your room needs pre-wiring.

For example, tall ceilings require more time than low ceilings. Or, drywalls are easier to work with than plaster or wood ceilings. It will take less time if you have an attic above the ceiling where you plan to install lighting fixtures. However, the roof or a neighbor above you will complicate things.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recessed lighting installation usually takes 30 minutes<\/strong> to 2<\/strong> hours<\/strong> per can light.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
