4 inch recessed lighting refers to a recessed fixture with a 4-inch aperture, one of the most popular and versatile sizes available. These 4 recessed can lights have become the modern standard, offering a sleeker, more contemporary look than older 6-inch lights while providing powerful, focused illumination.

Why Choose 4 Inch LED Recessed Lighting?

The 4 inch recessed lighting fixture is the go-to choice for designers and homeowners seeking a perfect balance of size and performance.

  • Modern, Discreet Look: The smaller 4-inch profile offers a cleaner, more "architectural" look, avoiding the "Swiss cheese" effect that can happen with larger, oversized cans.
  • Versatile Light Application: This size is a true all-rounder. It's large enough to provide general ambient light in a living room, but small and focused enough to be perfect for task lighting over kitchen counters or accent lighting on a feature wall.
  • Powerful & Efficient: Thanks to modern 4 inch LED recessed lighting technology, these smaller fixtures can produce as many lumens as older, larger lights, all while consuming a fraction of the energy.

Where to Use 4 Inch Can Lights

The adaptability of 4 recessed lighting makes it suitable for almost any room in the house:

  • Kitchens: Ideal for task lighting above countertops and islands.
  • Bathrooms: The perfect size for general illumination and for wet-rated shower lights.
  • Living Rooms: Use them in a grid for ambient light or as adjustable gimbals to highlight artwork.
  • Hallways: Provides excellent, even illumination without overwhelming the narrow space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are 4 inch recessed lights better than 6 inch?

It depends on the application. 4 inch recessed lighting is now the modern standard, offering a more discreet, stylish look while still providing powerful light. 6-inch lights are more traditional and cover a wider area, but can sometimes look bulky. For most homes with 8-9 foot ceilings, 4-inch lights are the preferred choice.

How many 4 inch recessed lights do I need?

A common rule of thumb is to divide the ceiling height by two. For an 8-foot ceiling, you would space your 4 inch recessed lights about 4 feet apart. For task areas, you may want to place them closer (2-3 feet apart) for more focused light.

How many lumens do I need for a 4 inch recessed light?

For general ambient lighting (e.g., in a living room), 600-800 lumens per fixture is typical. For task-heavy areas like a kitchen, you'll want a brighter 4 inch led recessed lighting fixture, typically in the 800-1200 lumen range.

What are the best uses for 4 inch recessed lighting?

Their versatility is their greatest strength. They are ideal for task lighting (kitchens, home offices), accent lighting (highlighting art), and general ambient lighting in small to medium-sized rooms (bedrooms, hallways, small bathrooms).

Can I replace my old 6 inch lights with 4 inch lights?

It's not a direct swap. You would need to patch the 6-inch hole in the drywall and cut a new 4-inch hole. A simpler solution is to use a 6-inch LED retrofit kit, which is an all-in-one trim that fits your existing 6-inch can but can have the modern look you desire.
