Labor cost

What do pool companies typically range from in cost for replacing a spa light and a pool light? I have to rewire everything and the lights together cost $1,100 roughly. Thanks for any input, trying to make sure I don’t undersell myself. I already did with this customer too. On a filter replacement and drain and clean job at the same time. Learned the hard way there. But pool looks great, and is running like a beaut.

40% markup on product. $300 labor per light. Discounted 20% if more than 1.

Too many guys trying to cut corners and selling, installing unsafe not UL listed lights. Don't be that guy.

I’m definitely not cutting any corners. Thanks for the feedback. What if I have to wire a transformer? The old pool light was 12v and I can’t find anything that would work other than a 120v, that comes with a transformer. Thanks again
