You get better and more efficient with practice and as you accumulate tools to do the work

I mean it does sound slow but you are not a pro. Speaking from electrical experience, it's much better to take the time to do something right. Rushed work comes out like shit/fails inspection or stays as a fire hazard and then takes 2x as long when it needs to be redone.

Without knowing what you were dealing with, it's hard to say if that's a typical time.

Some stuff is quick and easy, some stuff seems like it should be quick and easy until you open something up and realize something was done incorrectly or unsafely.

Depending on the fixture and location (say adding a heavy fixture to a ceiling box in a pre-1970's house), it could take much longer as code didn't require as robust mounting in the past.

I've put in numerous ceiling fans that required sheetrock work because there wasn't enough support in an older home (in the days before the fancy mounts you can insert via the box opening). Typical time was 2 days, because of mud work and repainting.

There's so many variables with this stuff it's best not to think you know how long something will take - you really never know what you're going to run into.
