Security Floodlight Cost by Fixture Guide
The fixture forms priced apart: hardwired motion-sensor, solar, and dusk-to-dawn forms each stand in their own frame, Frame A counting the fixture plus the project total and Frame B counting the single fixture installed.

The three forms, priced apart by frame
| Fixture form | Frame A, motion-sensor lights | Frame B, per-fixture installed |
|---|---|---|
| Hardwired motion-sensor | $30-$400 fixture, $250-$600 total | $75-$250 each installed |
| Solar form | no separate line carried | no separate line carried |
| Dusk-to-dawn form | no separate line carried | no separate line carried |
| Motion-sensor form, first-time | counted in the total band | $425 average |
Each figure here is one frame's own published line for that form. Frame A prints the hardwired motion-sensor fixture and its total apart; Frame B prints the installed band and the first-time average apart. Neither frame carries a separate solar or dusk-to-dawn line, and no line is read into a form a frame does not print.
Hardwired motion-sensor lines, as reported
| Fixture line, as published | Frame | 2026 band |
|---|---|---|
| Motion-sensor floodlight fixture | Frame A | $30-$400 |
| Motion-sensor floodlight, total | Frame A | $250-$600 |
| Floodlight, each installed | Frame B | $75-$250 |
| Floodlight, each installed | Frame B average | $150 |
| Motion-sensor floodlight, first-time | Frame B average | $425 |
| Outdoor security light, each | Frame B | $350-$500 |
The hardwired motion-sensor form carries the priced lines in both frames: fixture and total bands in Frame A on separate lines, and the installed band, its average, and the first-time average in Frame B on separate lines. An installed reading is not a fixture-only reading.
Solar and dusk-to-dawn lines, as reported
| Fixture line, as published | Frame | 2026 reading |
|---|---|---|
| Solar form | Frame A | no separate line carried |
| Solar form | Frame B | no separate line carried |
| Dusk-to-dawn form | Frame A | no separate line carried |
| Dusk-to-dawn form | Frame B | no separate line carried |
The solar and dusk-to-dawn forms carry no per-form band in either frame in this cluster, and none is read into either form here. A form is not a system or camera purchase: the landscape lighting guide prices a low-voltage design system, the home security system guide prices cameras, alarms, and monitoring, and the camera cluster prices a camera purchase.
The narrow-beam neighbour, priced apart
| Neighbour line, as published | Frame | 2026 band |
|---|---|---|
| Motion-sensor spotlight, the light | Frame A | $15-$65 |
| Motion-sensor spotlight, labor | Frame A | $50-$250 |
| Motion-sensor spotlight, installed | Frame A average | about $200 |
The spotlight is the narrow-beam neighbour form on the Frame A page, priced apart from the wide-beam floodlight on every line: light, labor, and installed average each stand on their own row. No spotlight figure is read as a floodlight figure.
Forms priced apart, neighbours named apart
A fixture line answers the fixture question only inside its own frame: the fixture-only band is not a small reading of the installed band. The neighbours stay apart here as on the hub: the landscape guide prices a design system, the security system guide prices cameras, alarms, and monitoring, and the camera cluster prices a camera purchase -- none prices a floodlight fixture.

Frequently asked questions
What do hardwired motion-sensor floodlights cost, as reported?
Two frames, priced apart. Frame A prints the fixture at $30 to $400 with the total after installation at $250 to $600. Frame B prints floodlights at $75 to $250 each installed, average $150, and motion-sensor floodlights at an average of $425 first-time.
What do solar floodlight forms cost, as reported?
Neither frame carries a separate solar line in this cluster: Frame A prints its fixture and total bands with no solar line apart, Frame B prints its installed bands with no solar line apart, and none is read into the solar form.
What do dusk-to-dawn floodlight forms cost, as reported?
Neither frame carries a separate dusk-to-dawn line in this cluster, on the same reading as the solar form, and no dusk-to-dawn figure is read across from the printed bands.
What do motion-sensor spotlights cost, as reported?
Frame A prices the narrow-beam neighbour apart: spotlights at $15 to $65 the light and $50 to $250 labor, about $200 installed on average. Spotlight lines are neighbour lines, never floodlight lines.
Is a floodlight fixture the same purchase as landscape lighting or a camera?
No, head-on: the landscape guide prices a low-voltage design system and the camera cluster prices a camera purchase. A camera-form fixture is a camera row, not a floodlight row.
