Recessed Lighting

Recessed lights, also known as “can lights”, are a type of light fixture that are mounted directly into the existing ceiling. The majority of the lights are housed above the ceiling drywall, so all you see is the trim and the bulb, giving the appearance of a light “recessed” into the ceiling. Most recessed lights have circular diameters available in 4–12” sizes.

Recessed lighting is very popular in modern homes because it is subtle, yet provides a lot of light. It can be used to create general lighting, ambient lighting, task lighting, and accent lighting, depending on the type and placement of the fixtures. Unlike traditional overhead fixtures, recessed lighting fixtures are not as visible and emit light from a more centralized source.

Recessed lighting can be installed for many applications. Whether you’re looking to illuminate an entire room, highlight artwork, create a cozy atmosphere, or even provide task lighting for specific activities, recessed lights might be the perfect solution.

In addition to their aesthetic value, installing recessed LED lights can also help you save on energy costs. LED recessed lighting is more efficient and can last up to three times longer than traditional light bulbs, so you won’t have to worry about replacing them as often. You love your LED recessed lighting cost savings!

Using a recessed light trim and dimmer switch, you can easily adjust the light levels to create a dramatic effect that will showcase certain room features. If you want to add a more subtle effect, you can use a gimbal trim to direct the light without creating harsh shadows.
