Known as recessed lighting, pot lights are becoming a staple in modern offices and homes. They offer several advantages over traditional flush mount light fixtures:

 

– Pot lights can provide ambient lighting in almost all rooms, offering great versatility.

 

– They typically use long-lasting and energy-efficient LED bulbs.

 

– The light tone can be chosen to set the desired room atmosphere – a bright white light or a warmer off-white tone.

 

– Their unobtrusive design allows them to blend with the ceiling, highlighting other room features.

 

 

A helpful tip when installing LED pot lights is to divide the ceiling’s height by 2 to calculate the distance (in feet) between each pot light. For instance, with an 8 foot ceiling, pot lights should be roughly spaced 4 feet apart, providing adequate room lighting. To modify a room’s ambiance, consider using a dimmer switch to adjust the light intensity. Dimmers are perfect for the bedroom, bathroom, living room, dining room, basement, or home theatre.

 

 

Determining this cost is a complex task, due to many factors involved. The cost of the pot light fixture varies between $80 and $150 per light, and labor from a licensed electrician can run into a few hundred dollars. Factors to consider include:

 

– Whether the electrician requires an ESA permit to install pot lights – this is typically necessary if it’s a new addition, not a replacement, and will require an electrical inspection, increasing the cost.

 

– Whether there are physical barriers such as joists or pipes that need removing to accommodate the pot lights – again, this increases the cost.

 

 

Imagine adding an elegant chandelier to your front foyer, dining room, kitchen, or bedroom. One of the main questions you may ask is how much does a chandelier installation cost.

 

 

In addition to the chandelier fixture itself, factors affecting installation costs include:

 

– For basic installations on low ceilings where existing wiring is available, costs could start around $300, but may increase by a few hundred dollars.

 

– In contrast, installing on high ceilings with no existing wiring and needing a lift may reach into the thousands of dollars.
