How much did you pay for recessed lighting?

[kaylie]

I got an Angie's List deal for $400 for four 6'' lights on a dimmer switch. Additional lights are $167 for first floor and $130 for second floor. We are doing 6 in our family room so it will be $734.

Another quote was $125 each for three 5'' lights on the second floor, which is a separate project.

We just had 10 cans installed in out LR and FR and they were about 80 a can, but we had to repair the drywall. It would have been about 30 more a can to have them do the repairs.

We installed them ourselves. They were $17/can, $70/200' of 14-3 wire (for the 12 recessed lights in our basement we only needed a small portion of that though), $10-15/trim, $15 for the low voltage dimmer, and $30 in misc (hangers, standard switches, wire nuts of various sizes, etc).

I paid $90 per light for our kitchen and that included putting them on a dimmer and repairing and painting the ceiling.

We DIYed ours, so it was just materials. It will probably depend on whether you have open attic above where the lights are going in, or a second story. It's a lot easier to get to, so probably cheaper, if there's open attic above them.

I don't remember the cost so i doubt this is helpful, but we have 10 in the family room, 6 in the dining, 6 in the living, and 11 in the kitchen.
