Every number in the table is the whole flat price for the job in Los Angeles. You approve it before we start, and it changes only if the job itself changes.
Long punch lists and projects with no fixed scope. Billed by the hour, so the total depends on how long it runs.
What the lower end buys
You get one flush mount or vanity light swapped on the wiring already in place: old fixture down, connections checked and capped clean, new one mounted level, bulbs in, switch tested. Eight-foot ceiling, standard box, nothing to carry out of the room.
What the higher end buys
Three fixtures in one visit, or a single heavy chandelier over an entry stairwell, sits at the top. High ceilings call for a taller ladder and a helper, and a chandelier needs a braced box. Adding a dimmer means the wall switch comes out as well.

Biggest price driver
Fixture weight and ceiling height do the most work here. A five-pound flush mount goes up in half an hour. A twenty-pound chandelier gets assembled on the floor, then lifted onto a braced box with two people on ladders. New circuits belong to a licensed electrician.
How to keep your light fixture installation cost down
Do the whole house in one visit rather than one room at a time. Have every fixture unboxed with its hardware laid out, and choose fixtures that suit the box already up there instead of ones that need bracing.
