Typical range is the middle 50% of listings, from the 25th percentile (From) to the 75th percentile (To). Median is the midpoint, which is a fairer guide than the average because a handful of very expensive chandeliers pull the average upward.
How the catalogue splits by price band

|---|---|---|---|
| Under ₦50,000 | 28 | 7.2% | Compact outdoor wall fittings, spotlights, small bulkheads |

| ₦100,000 to ₦200,000 | 106 | 27.2% | Most pendants, larger wall lights, entry-level ceiling fittings |
| ₦200,000 to ₦300,000 | 94 | 24.1% | Ceiling lights, table and floor lamps, smaller chandeliers |
| ₦300,000 to ₦500,000 | 65 | 16.7% | Mid-range chandeliers, ring and linear designs |

| All listings | 390 | 100% | Median ₦220,000 |
Five things the data shows
1. The naira figure most people quote is too high
Ask around and you will hear that luxury lighting in Lagos starts at half a million naira. The median listing is ₦220,000, and 72% of the catalogue sits under ₦300,000. The very expensive pieces are real, but the range from ₦500,000 upward is about 12% of the catalogue, not the centre of it.
2. Chandeliers have the widest spread of any category
From ₦65,000 to ₦1,500,000, a spread of roughly 23 times between the cheapest and the most expensive. No other category comes close. It means the word chandelier tells you almost nothing about budget on its own, and that a buyer asking for a price needs to specify size, ceiling height and material first.
3. Only about 1 in 10 chandeliers comes in under ₦200,000
Of 157 chandeliers, 16 are priced below ₦200,000 and 54 below ₦300,000. So a ₦300,000 budget opens about a third of the chandelier range. A ₦200,000 budget mostly moves a buyer into pendants, where 89% of the range is available at that level.
4. Lamps cost more than buyers expect
Table lamps carry a median of ₦230,000 and floor lamps ₦250,000, both above the ₦197,500 median for ceiling lights. A single marble or crystal table lamp often costs more than the ceiling fitting in the same room, which surprises most buyers planning a scheme.
5. Outdoor wall lights are the cheapest category by a wide margin
A median of ₦15,000 against ₦98,000 for indoor wall lights. The reason is category composition rather than quality: the outdoor range is dominated by compact weatherproof fittings for walkways, gates and perimeter walls, where the job is illumination rather than decoration. The one decorative outdoor piece in the range is priced at ₦140,000.
What changed since the October edition
The headline median is unchanged at ₦220,000, and so are the chandelier, pendant, table lamp, floor lamp, indoor wall, outdoor wall, tube light and spotlight medians. The only median that moved is ceiling lights, up from ₦195,000 to ₦197,500. The catalogue grew from 379 to 390 listings: chandeliers went from 152 to 157, pendant and drop lights from 58 to 61, table lamps from 35 to 37, ceiling lights from 43 to 44 and indoor wall lights from 56 to 57, while floor lamps went from 11 to 10. The top of the typical chandelier range moved from ₦507,500 to ₦550,000 and the top of the typical pendant range from ₦143,750 to ₦150,000. The share of listings under ₦300,000 is 72%, the same as in October.
What your budget buys
| Budget | Realistic scope |
|---|---|
| ₦100,000 | One pendant, one indoor wall light, or several outdoor wall fittings. Enough to light a hallway or a bedside pair. |
| ₦300,000 | A small chandelier, or a set of three pendants over a kitchen island, or a ceiling light plus two wall lights for one room. |
| ₦500,000 | A mid-range chandelier for a living or dining room, or a full single-room scheme combining a ceiling fitting, wall lights and a table lamp. |
| ₦1,000,000 | A large multi-tier or crystal chandelier, or lighting for three to four rooms of a standard apartment. |
| ₦2,000,000+ | A whole three-bedroom apartment, or a statement piece plus supporting fittings for a double height space or hotel lobby. |

Methodology
The index is built from every active listing in the LAGE Lightings catalogue that is live on the website on the date shown at the top of this page. Draft, archived and unpublished products are excluded. Each listing contributes its lowest variant price, so a fixture sold in several sizes is counted at its entry price. Prices are in Nigerian naira, inclusive of the fitting only, and exclude delivery, installation and bulbs where bulbs are sold separately.
The sample is 390 category listings covering 378 unique products. The gap of 12 exists because some fittings genuinely belong in two categories, such as a stone wall light rated for both indoor and outdoor use, and those are counted once in each category they appear in.
Median is reported alongside the average throughout, because a small number of chandeliers above ₦900,000 pull the average well above the price a typical buyer pays. Where a category holds fewer than five listings, shown in the listings column, treat the figures as indicative rather than statistically meaningful.
The index is recalculated monthly, on or around the first of each month, and the date at the top of the page always shows when the figures were last refreshed. Naira prices move with import costs and the exchange rate, so figures from an edition more than a month or two old should be treated as historical.

Common questions
How much does a chandelier cost in Nigeria?
The median chandelier price in Nigeria is ₦350,000, based on 157 listings at LAGE Lightings (also known as Lights Architect) in November 2026. The middle half of the range runs from ₦280,000 to ₦550,000. The cheapest is ₦65,000 and the most expensive ₦1,500,000.
What is a reasonable budget for lighting a 3-bedroom apartment in Lagos?
Around ₦1,000,000 to ₦2,000,000 covers a standard three-bedroom apartment using mid-range fittings: a chandelier or ceiling light in each main room, pendants over the dining table and kitchen island, and wall lights in hallways and bedrooms. Going statement-led in the living room can take it higher.
How much do pendant lights cost in Nigeria?
The median pendant or drop light is ₦120,000, with the middle half of the range between ₦85,000 and ₦150,000. 89% of pendants are priced under ₦200,000, which makes them the most accessible decorative category.
Why are outdoor wall lights so much cheaper than indoor ones?
Because the two categories do different jobs. Outdoor wall lights at LAGE Lightings are mostly compact weatherproof fittings for walkways, gates and perimeter walls, with a median of ₦15,000. Indoor wall lights are decorative sconces in marble, glass and crystal, with a median of ₦98,000.
Do these prices include installation?
No. The index covers the price of the fitting only. Delivery, electrician labour and ceiling anchoring are separate, and anchoring in particular matters for heavy chandeliers on Nigerian POP ceilings.
How often is the index updated?
Monthly, on or around the first of the month. The current edition is November 2026, last refreshed on 3 November 2026, and the next refresh is due 1 December 2026. Naira prices track import costs and the exchange rate, so older editions should be read as historical.
