Landscape Lighting Cost: Per Fixture in 2026
Estimate landscape lighting cost per fixture — with the free electrical calculator.
Landscape lighting turns a plain yard into a showpiece at night — and adds real security. The cost is per fixture, and the transformer is the hidden line item. Here's the 2026 number.
THE SHORT ANSWER
The short answer
Landscape lighting runs $100–$300 per fixture installed in 2026 ($230–$391 for pro low-voltage). A typical 10-20 fixture project runs $3,000–$10,000. Path lights run $100–$300; uplights $200–$500. The transformer adds $150–$600.
What it costs
Path lights run $100–$300 installed. Uplights and accent lights run $200–$500. Pro low-voltage installation runs $230–$391 per fixture. A 12-fixture system runs $3,000–$6,000; a 20-fixture runs $5,000–$10,000.

- 10-20 fixture project: $3,000–$10,000
Low-voltage vs solar
Low-voltage (12V) is the professional standard — reliable, bright, transformered. Solar runs $20–$80 per fixture but dims and dies sooner. Line-voltage is for pros only. Most homeowners choose low-voltage with a smart timer.
