Find an Electrician

Recessed lighting is a great lighting choice for any home. It can give you a multitude of light options in a room without visible lamps, cords, or lighting fixtures. Recessed lighting can be used to highlight pictures, furnishings, wall colors, countertops, and more.

Recessed lighting fixtures have come a long way. There are models that offer low voltage options to save on energy and others that can come in direct contact with insulation above (labeled "IC" for insulated ceilings.) There are a variety of shapes, finishes, and designs that are perfect for any room of the house. It used to be that you needed to install recessed lighting during construction, but there are now models that can be retrofitted into an existing home.

Plan ahead to get your lights in the right spot. Measure your room, add in furniture, counters or features, and any wall-mounted feature you want to accent. Decide what your overall goal is with the recessed lighting package. For example, you may want to provide accent lighting for some artwork, add task lighting over your cooking areas or improve overall room lighting. Show your lighting diagram to your electrician to make sure it is feasible and safe.

Your electrician will know the right lamps to use, where to wire everything, and the placement of your switches. You may also have the electrician install switches that allow you to have a variety of programs or settings for several lighting packages and looks.
