Average cost of installing light/recessed lighting?

Question

How much does an average electric job cost to install a light fixture in 1 medium room? and How much on average would installing 6 recessed lights (fishing needed) in another medium room? Does $100 a Can, installed sound right?

Looking for a base estimate for some future work in Jersey City, NJ.

Answer 1

I live in CT - and ya you are correct at about $100 per light, other things that might make the price jump are if there is anything unusual behind the drywall or if theres no wires to the ceiling already.
