I had the exact same thing happen with a client of mine..."can you chnage the light in the dining room?"

Then proceeds to haul out some Debbie travis labeled chandelier mofo thing that involved drilling into the concrete ceiling and then sorting out the crystals that went on the thing.

No one ever understands what can go into doing these types of things.

I would say retail price is 300+tax and if you get a price of 200-300, you are in discount land, and anything less than 200, you are in "this guy is learning electrical on the job" land.

My electrician told me that he'd charge 250-300 for the light we put in.
