What lights cost on the usual Swampscott house

Swampscott is mostly single-family: about 58% of homes are 1-unit, 23% in 2-4 unit buildings, median build year 1955 and 76% owner-occupied. That fits mid-century colonials and capes in the town, with older shore-side houses near Beach Bluff and Phillips Beach (neighborhood names from the existing entry; style by neighborhood is not sourced).
