How Much does Custom Lighting Design Cost?

The cost of a custom lighting design varies depending on the specific fixtures selected and the complexity of the installation. We provide Fixed quotes before work begins so you know the exact investment for your project with no hidden fees.

To help you budget, here are the typical cost ranges for professional installation per fixture:

• Recessed Lighting: $75–$200 per fixture (installed)
• Landscape Lighting: $80–$300 per fixture (installed)
• Outdoor Security Lighting: $100–$400 per fixture (installed)
• Accent or Art Lighting: $90–$250 per fixture (installed)
• Deck Lighting: $50–$150 per fixture (installed)

While custom designs involve a higher initial investment than standard lighting, they deliver superior long-term value. By utilizing LED fixture conversions, you can reduce energy use by 50–80%, often seeing a payback on your investment within one to three years. Our Licensed & Insured electricians also ensure every plan is permit-ready and compliant with California Title 24 energy codes, which maximizes efficiency and property value.

Factors such as adding new circuits, smart automation controls, or specialized housings will influence the final price. During our initial consultation, we will develop a tailored plan that aligns your aesthetic goals with your budget.
