Cost of the Lights. Low-end recessed lights cost between $20 and $60 each. Higher-end, low-voltage recessed lighting can cost $75 to $150 or more per light. Each light requires a housing that goes into the ceiling and a trim that covers gaps between the housing and the drywall.
Key Differences Between LED and CFL Bulbs. 1  The LED bulb stands for Light Emitting Diode, and CFL stands for Compact Fluorescent Light. 2  LED bulbs are more energy efficient than CFLs. 3  The LED bulb consumes less electricity than its counterpart CFL 75% a year in energy cost.
LEDs, or lightâemitting diodes, are semiconductor devices that produce visible light when an electrical current passed through them. LEDs are a type of Solid State Lighting (SSL), as are organic lightâemitting diodes (OLEDs) and lightâemitting polymers (LEPs). LED lighting differs from incandescent and compact fluorescent lighting in several ways. When designed well, LED lighting can be more efficient, durable, versatile and longer lasting.
