Looking for an inexpensive way to modernize your home? Recessed lighting offers the perfect blend of form and function to give your home a fresh new look. Well-chosen, carefully placed lights can highlight a room’s best features, improve lighting in areas that are poorly lit, and offer a decorative element to your home.
Excellent Electric can install new lights for you. Contact us for fast and courteous service.
Installed within the ceiling rather than on the surface, recessed lighting consists of two parts: the trim and the housing. The fixture’s housing, which holds the bulb, is installed inside the ceiling. The trim is the finished edge you see when looking up into the fixture.
Outdoor Soffit Lighting
Soffit lighting is a great option for illuminating the exterior of your home. Your soffits are the surfaces underneath your roof eaves. An electrician can install recessed lighting in that area to create subtle, effective lighting for your home’s outdoor living spaces. Outdoor soffit lighting offers several other benefits, including:
Uses for Recessed Lights
Many areas of your home could benefit from well-placed recessed lighting. Here are a few ideal locations to consider installing recessed lights:
The Type of Housing Required
This is determined by ceiling slope, material, insulation, and whether lights are installed on a new home or remodel.
The Number of Fixtures Needed
As there is no universal solution, professional assistance comes in handy. Square footage, bulb wattage, ceiling height, visibility needed, and existing light must all be considered to avoid making your ceiling look like Swiss cheese but efficiently light the space. This can also be confusing when dealing with LED bulbs, which have a low wattage rating of 5 to 8 but are comparable to incandescent bulbs that are 40 to 60 watts.
The Proper Spacing
A professional will ensure fixtures are spaced evenly, resulting in a balanced look.
Appropriate Fixture Rating
A professional electrician can advise whether the model selected needs to be rated for moisture. This ensures your family’s safety and prevents the bulb from being damaged.
Electrical Load
To avoid overloading circuits, Excellent Electric can help you determine the safest way to wire in new lights.
Enlisting the help of a pro ensures you will get not only the look you want but the most ease of use out of your investment. For instance, a lighting expert knows when to use an adjustable Gimbal fixture to create focal points or a reading light for your favorite chair, or add dimming features to dim lights by zone. Wouldn’t a separate dimmer switch for each light over your bed be nice?
