Lighting Installation: common questions

How much does it cost to install recessed lighting?

In Orange County, expect about $200 to $400 per recessed LED light in an existing ceiling with attic access. Two-story ceilings without access and long new runs cost more.

Can recessed lights be added without an attic?

Yes. Slim LED wafer lights need very little depth, and electricians can fish wire between joists through small openings. The job takes longer and may need more patching.
