Exterior Recessed Lighting Retrofit


Exterior recessed lights installed more than a year after house was complete and moved in to.
Cost: Useing 5 inch recessed $75. each .... Price includes, housing, trim, compact fluorescent lamp, wire, labor. With this house we used 3 digital timers, Adding $150. Total job cost $825.
I did another house just like this one were we it didn't cost anything for switching because we wired the lights to the existing eve outlets. On a one level house only one switch is necessary, $30. Another option is the use of remote switching, like the kind used for garage door.$20 for remote and $30 fore each remote switchable outlet. The lights would be plugged into the switchable outlets.
