What is recessed lighting?

Recessed lighting, also known as can lighting or downlighting, is a type of lighting fixture that is installed above the ceiling line. The fixture is set into a ceiling opening, leaving the bulb recessed into the ceiling and hidden from view.

What are the benefits of using recessed lighting?

Recessed lighting is great for creating a clean, modern look. It provides a subtle, even light that can be directed to highlight specific areas, such as wall art or architectural details. Additionally, since the fixture is installed into the ceiling, it takes up no floor space, freeing up room for other uses.

What is the best type of bulb to use with recessed lighting?

LED bulbs are the best choice when it comes to recessed lighting. They are energy-efficient, long-lasting, and produce little to no heat. Additionally, they are available in a wide range of color temperatures, so you can choose the right one to create the desired atmosphere in your space.

What are some things to consider when installing recessed lighting?

When installing recessed lighting, you should consider the placement and spacing of the fixtures, the type of bulb to use, and the type of housing to select. You should also ensure that the fixtures are compatible with the type of ceiling you have (such as drywall or plaster). Additionally, it is important to consider the overall design of your space and how the lighting will fit into it.

Can recessed lighting be dimmed?

Yes, recessed lighting can be dimmed. Many fixtures come with dimmer switches or can be easily connected to one. Dimming the lights can help create a cozy and relaxed atmosphere, and can also help save energy by using less electricity.
