What does it cost to replace one light fixture?
Five single-fixture jobs cost $138 to $175. Two hung a fixture the customer bought. Two put a loose or fallen light back up. One replaced a ceiling light with a fixture we supplied.
A high fixture didn’t cost much more in these jobs. Swapping a second-story exterior light for a customer-supplied fixture cost $140. A pendant on a 10-foot ceiling cost $153.
How much does replacing several lights cost?
Four of the 10 jobs replaced more than one light, for $175 to $336. Two closet lights cost $175. Four fluorescent fixtures, swapped for customer-supplied LED fixtures, cost $300. So did three kitchen island lights and a dining pendant.
The top price, $336, was two pendant fixtures. That job came to $816 before a $480 credit from an earlier project.
Why did one light fixture cost $265?
The $265 job replaced an emergency light fixture in a store. Labor was $210, and the fixture and wiring were $55. We tested the new light after the power came back on.
What should you send for an accurate light fixture quote?
Send a photo of the fixture you have and the one you want. These details moved the prices most:
- Who supplies the fixture. Many jobs here used a fixture the customer bought.
- How many lights. Two closet lights cost $175, and four LED fixtures cost $300.
- How high the fixture is. Tell us about second-story or 10-foot ceilings when you send photos.
- Home or business. The $265 store emergency light needed a compatible replacement fixture.

Questions about DFW and Houston light fixture replacement prices
About these prices
This guide uses 10 completed jobs from Smart Fix job and invoice records, pulled on October 20, 2026. Each price is the full job total from its invoices, including parts and tax we charged, after discounts and credits. A visit with several tasks counts as one job. We left out assessment-only visits and any job whose total did not match its invoices.
The median is the middle price once all 10 are sorted, so one large project cannot pull it up the way it pulls up the average. Dates use the day work started. Cities follow the job address. Customer details stay private. These are past prices for real jobs, not a quote.
