What moves the price
- Swap or new — replacing lamps in existing fittings costs far less than new LED fittings
- Number of lights — a full room of LED spotlights takes longer than one pendant
- Dimming — dimmable LED lighting needs dimmer switches rated for LED loads
- Strip lighting — under-cabinet and plinth LED strips need drivers and careful fixing
- Ceiling access — a loft above makes running new cables much quicker
- Smart controls — app or voice-controlled LED lighting adds cost
Electrical work prices in the UK are up 6% over five years (ONS Consumer Price Inflation, Services for maintenance and repair, to 2026 August). Five years ago a typical led lighting would have cost about £125 — an estimate from today's guide price and that index, not a recorded price. Source: ONS MM23 D7DO →

How to pay less
- Swap lamps into existing fittings where possible rather than replacing every LED fitting
- Have all the LED lighting changes done on one visit rather than room by room, so the electrician's call-out is paid once
- Choose standard GU10 LED fittings, which are cheap to replace later
Before you book
- Check old dimmer switches work with LEDs, as many need replacing
- Downlights through ceilings below rooms often need fire-rated fittings
- Any new lighting circuit for the LEDs is notifiable, so book a registered electrician
- Choose a colour temperature — warm white suits living rooms, cooler light suits kitchens
LED Lighting cost: questions people ask
£25–£400 per job, about £100 typical for a new fitting. A single LED swap costs least; a whole room of dimmable spotlights costs the most.
About an hour for a simple swap, and half a day to a day for a room of new fittings.
Not always. Many older dimmers cause flicker or buzzing, so a trailing-edge LED dimmer is often needed.
Yes. LEDs use far less electricity than halogen bulbs and last much longer.
Making good ceilings, new circuits and decorating can be extra. Ask whether lamps and dimmers are included.
