Bathroom Lighting That Works for You
Bad bathroom lighting creates shadows across your face, makes the room feel smaller, and turns grooming into guesswork. Good bathroom lighting does the opposite. Proper vanity illumination, layered ambient light, and task lighting in the shower transform how you use the space. Showcase Remodels Philadelphia installs bathroom lighting across Philadelphia – from simple fixture swaps to full rewiring during a bathroom renovation. We handle the electrical, mounting, and switching so every fixture works exactly how you need it.
Types of Bathroom Lighting We Install
Vanity Lighting
Recessed Lighting
Under-Cabinet LEDs
Strip lights mounted under vanity cabinets provide soft nighttime navigation and subtle ambient glow. They run on low voltage and connect to a dimmer switch for adjustable brightness.
Decorative Fixtures
Damp-rated chandeliers, semi-flush mounts, and pendant lights add style to larger bathrooms. These work best as accent pieces over a freestanding tub or in the center of a spacious primary bathroom.
Bathroom Lighting Costs in Philadelphia
Bathroom lighting costs in Philadelphia depend on the number of fixtures, wiring complexity, and whether you are adding new circuits or replacing existing ones.
Fixture replacement
(existing wiring): $150 to $400 per fixture including labor. This covers swapping an old vanity bar for new sconces or upgrading a ceiling fixture.
New fixture installation
(new wiring): $300 to $800 per fixture. Running new electrical to a location that did not have a fixture before requires cutting into walls, running cable, and connecting to the panel.
Recessed light installation
: $200 to $500 per can. Price includes the housing, trim, LED bulb, and wiring. Adding a dimmer switch costs $100 to $200 extra.
Full bathroom lighting package
: $1,000 to $3,000 for a complete setup including vanity sconces, recessed cans, and under-cabinet LEDs with separate switching.
Why LED Lighting Is the Standard for Bathrooms
LED fixtures have replaced incandescent and fluorescent as the default bathroom lighting choice. The benefits are practical, not just environmental.
Energy savings
Longevity
LED bulbs last 25,000 to 50,000 hours compared to 1,000 hours for incandescent. That means 15 to 20 years of use before replacement. For recessed fixtures in hard-to-reach ceilings, this eliminates frequent bulb changes.

Bathroom Lighting Upgrades in Older Philadelphia Homes
Many older Philadelphia homes have single-fixture bathroom lighting – typically one overhead fixture or a vanity bar with exposed bulbs. Upgrading to a layered lighting system makes a dramatic difference.
Wiring challenges
Homes built before 1960 may have knob-and-tube wiring or undersized circuits that cannot safely support modern fixtures. We assess your electrical system and upgrade wiring as needed during the remodel.
GFCI requirements
Current {CI} electrical code requires GFCI-protected circuits for all bathroom outlets and fixtures within 6 feet of water sources. If your bathroom does not have GFCI protection, we add it during any lighting project.
Switch upgrades
Replacing single-pole switches with dimmer switches or smart switches (compatible with Alexa or Google Home) is a simple addition during a lighting project. Smart switches let you control bathroom lights from your phone or by voice.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bathroom Lighting in Philadelphia
Yes. Philadelphia electrical code requires bathroom outlets and lighting on GFCI-protected circuits. In most homes, the bathroom has its own 20-amp circuit. If your bathroom shares a circuit with another room, we separate it during the project.
The general rule is one recessed light per 25 square feet of floor space. A 50-square-foot bathroom needs 2 to 3 cans. A large primary bathroom of 100+ square feet needs 4 to 6. We space them 4 feet apart for even coverage.
For recessed lights, yes. Remodel-style (canless) LED fixtures cut into the existing ceiling drywall and clip in from below. No attic access needed. For vanity lights and under-cabinet LEDs, we can often fish wire through walls with minimal patching.
