Its a decent amount of work..
but its not so hard if its on the top floor with the attic above it,
-difficult on a main floor, lots of holes need to be cut in the ceiling depending on layout of the lights, drywall repair, and ceiling texture repair or paint
-if your in a concrete highrise unit , your out of luck

Installing pot lights in an attic is still pretty difficult. Walking on trusses isn't easy for most people, never mind if there's not much head room, then add actually having to complete work while balancing to the equation. Factor in heat, itchy insulation, repairing all the insulation you screw up and patching the vapour barrier in addition to the electrical work. It's no simple diy task. Unless its an older home with batt insulation in the attic, I'd almost say it's less difficult to do lower floors.
