How this works: Highlands Ranch Lighting is a free referral service, not a lighting contractor. We pass your request to independent local lighting installers, who may pay us for the referral. They quote, schedule and do the work; check their insurance before you hire. More about us.
Limits on house-mounted fixtures
HRCA's guidelines cap decorative fixtures mounted on the home, near garages and doors, at 500 lumens per fixture, and security fixtures at 1,000 lumens, both no more than 10 feet above the walking surface. Security fixtures must fully conceal the light source and motion detectors must time out within five minutes. ARC approval is required for all floodlights.
Castle Pines' lighting standards say single-family areas "should be limited to 2400 lumens per fixture unless shielded." Parker caps single-family fixtures at 900 lumens. Centennial requires all exterior lighting on single-family lots not under a site plan to be fully shielded.
What it costs
Angi's 2026 installed ranges: wall wash lights $150 to $400, accent lights $150 to $400, floodlights $200 to $500 each. Replacing house-mounted fixtures is often line-voltage work; see which wiring needs an electrician.
