8 inch recessed lighting fixtures are powerful, large recessed lighting solutions designed for high-performance applications. These high-output downlights produce a very high volume of lumens and a wide beam spread, making them the standard choice for commercial recessed lighting and large residential spaces with extra-high ceilings.
High-Output for Commercial & High-Ceiling Applications
You won't find an 8 inch can light in a standard bedroom. This size is a specific tool for challenging spaces:
- Commercial & Retail: The preferred size for open-plan offices, large retail stores, lobbies, and conference rooms where powerful, even light is a necessity.
- High Ceilings: The only choice for properly illuminating residential great rooms, entryways, or auditoriums with ceilings 12 feet, 15 feet, or higher. The power of an 8 recessed light is needed to push light all the way to the floor.
- Broadest Light Coverage: The large aperture creates the widest possible light beam, meaning you need fewer fixtures to light a large, open area compared to 4-inch or 6-inch lights.
