Collection: 6 Inch Recessed Lighting

6 inch recessed lighting is the traditional, standard size for residential and commercial recessed lighting. For decades, 6 can lights have been the go-to solution for providing broad, even, general illumination in rooms of all sizes, from living rooms and kitchens to basements and offices.

6 Inch Recessed Lighting for General & Ambient Light

While 4-inch lights have gained modern popularity, the 6 inch recessed light remains the workhorse for ambient lighting for several reasons:

• Broad Light Spread: The larger aperture of a 6 inch recessed light produces a wide, soft cone of light, ideal for illuminating large, open areas and minimizing shadows.
• High Lumen Output: These fixtures are available in a wide range of lumen packages, including high-output downlights suitable for high or vaulted ceilings.
• Vast Product Selection: As the long-time standard, this size has the widest variety of options, including 6 inch wafer light models, gimbals, wall washers, and every trim color imaginable.
• Best for Retrofitting: Most older homes were built with 6 recessed can light housings. Our 6 inch led recessed lighting retrofit kits are the easiest, most cost-effective way to upgrade these old fixtures to modern, energy-efficient LED.

Ideal Applications for 6 Inch Can Lights

• General Ambient Light: The perfect choice for providing whole-room illumination in living rooms, bedrooms, and basements.
• High Ceilings: The powerful output from 6 inch recessed lighting is ideal for 10-foot or vaulted ceilings.
• Commercial Spaces: Widely used for general lighting in offices, retail stores, and lobbies.
