Frequently Asked Questions
What should I consider when choosing recessed lights?
What should I consider when choosing recessed lights?
When selecting recessed lights, consider the height of your ceiling and the size of your room. Smaller fixtures, like 4-inch and 5-inch models, are perfect for task lighting in kitchens, while 6-inch fixtures are commonly used for general lighting. Larger sizes, such as 8-inch and 10-inch, are ideal for creating a broad wash of light.
What is the difference between can lights and canless recessed lights?
What is the difference between can lights and canless recessed lights?
Can lights are traditional recessed fixtures with a housing can installed above the ceiling. Canless recessed lights are a newer, slimmer option that doesn't require a housing. Canless lights are typically LED, more energy-efficient, and easier to install, especially in tight spaces.
What are the benefits of LED recessed lighting?
