Features

• Recessed lighting is available in several types of bulbs. If you want to save money on your electric bill or if being environmentally friendly is important to you, opt for the low-voltage bulb models. Although these bulbs can cost $100 more, as of 2011, than basic recessed lighting bulbs, they might save you more money in the long-run.
  
  

Considerations

• Do-it-yourself recessed lighting kits are available for approximately $30 per light, as of January 2011. To have a professional install the lighting for you, you can spend upwards of $200 per light, according to Costhelper.com.
  
  

Warning

• If you're installing recessed lighting in a finished home, you might discover insulation above the ceiling where you want the lighting to be installed. Avoid the potential of a fire by using heat-proof fixtures.
