Recessed lighting is a great way to light a room as well as enhance the appearance of the room. Recessed lights will give you nice even light throughout the room. Recessed lights will also eliminate the need for floor lamps or a light fixture hanging down from the ceiling thereby making the room feel much bigger. Let's talk about some things to consider when planning recessed lighting. What size light will you want? Usually the bigger the room the larger size can you will use. The size of the can light will usually dictate the brightness of the bulb you can install in it. A 6-inch recessed light will usually allow you to use a 75 watt bulb whereas a 4 inch recessed light will only allow you to use a 50 watt bulb. That being said you would have to use a larger quantity of a smaller recessed light to get the same light as using a larger recessed light. Where do you want to place your recessed lights? My goal with recessed lights are to light a room evenly as well as  to create a pattern that looks like it was original to the home. How are the lights going to be switched? In bedrooms and living rooms usually recessed lights will be put on a dimmer. In kitchens and bathrooms usually lighting will be put on a switch. As we talked about before wiring is usually easier when there is attic access if there's not it is still possible to do the work we may have to make small holes in the drywall to run the wiring so plan on some small drywall patch. So this should give you some things to think about when planning recessed lights. Let me know when you would like to get started.
