How much does professional lighting installation cost in Wilmington?

Lighting installation costs depend on the complexity of your project and the fixtures you choose. Simple fixture replacements typically range from $150-$300 per fixture, while complete room installations with new circuits can range from $500-$2,000. LED installations cost more upfront but save money long-term through lower energy bills and longer fixture life. We provide detailed estimates that break down labor, materials, and any electrical upgrades needed for your specific project. The investment makes sense when you consider that proper lighting installation prevents safety issues and eliminates the need for frequent repairs or replacements.
Yes, LED lighting installation often requires electrical work that must be performed by licensed electricians. Many LED systems need specific drivers, dimmer switches, or circuit modifications that aren’t suitable for DIY installation. LED fixtures also require proper heat management and compatible electrical connections. Incorrect installation can cause flickering, premature failure, or safety hazards that cost more to fix than professional installation would have cost initially. Licensed electricians ensure your LED installation meets local electrical codes and manufacturer specifications, protecting your investment and maintaining your home’s electrical safety.
Most residential lighting installations take between 2-6 hours, depending on the number of fixtures and whether new circuits are required. Simple fixture replacements typically take 30-60 minutes each. Projects requiring new wiring or electrical panel modifications can take a full day or longer. We schedule these larger projects to minimize disruption to your household routine and complete work in logical phases. Emergency lighting repairs are handled immediately when safety is a concern. Non-emergency installations are scheduled at your convenience, with clear timeframes provided during the initial consultation.
Our lighting installation service includes electrical assessment, fixture installation, proper wiring connections, and thorough testing of all components. We also handle permit applications when required and ensure all work meets Wilmington’s electrical codes.

We test dimmer switches, verify proper operation of all fixtures, and explain any maintenance requirements. You receive a detailed invoice showing all work performed, materials used, and warranty information for both our labor and the fixtures installed.
Yes, we install complete outdoor lighting systems including security lighting, landscape lighting, and architectural accent lighting. Outdoor installations require weather-resistant fixtures and proper electrical protection against moisture and temperature changes. Security lighting installation includes motion sensors, timer controls, and strategic placement to eliminate dark areas around your property. We use LED fixtures for outdoor applications because they perform better in temperature extremes and last longer. All outdoor electrical work includes GFCI protection and proper grounding as required by electrical codes. This prevents electrical hazards and ensures reliable operation regardless of weather conditions.
We handle emergency lighting situations when electrical problems create safety concerns or leave you without essential lighting. Emergency calls receive priority scheduling, often with same-day or next-day service availability. Emergency lighting installation covers situations like failed fixtures in critical areas, electrical problems affecting multiple lights, or safety issues requiring immediate attention. We carry common fixtures and electrical components for quick repairs. Non-emergency lighting installations are scheduled during regular business hours at your convenience. Emergency service rates apply to after-hours calls, but we’re available when electrical problems can’t wait for regular business hours.
