Recessed Lighting Design, The Varying Styles and Designs Available.

Recessed Lighting Design on “Gorgeous” fixtures such as Square Recessed Lighting, Recessed Floor Lighting and Recessed Track Lighting is very interesting and there is no doubt that this family of Lighting Fixtures are highly desirable products that we love.

Let us start with the various shapes that these fixtures come in. The most common are the Round type but also available are Square, Oval and even Triangular shaped. They come in standard finishes such as Gold, Chrome, Brushed Nickel, Copper or Bronze.

My favourite finish when it comes to Recessed Lighting Design is Chrome because this finish more often than not blends in nicely with many existing interior decors and is also a very contemporary and fashionable colour finish.

Recessed Lighting Spacing is a very important factor when it comes to your lighting layout. The size range of this lighting is usually 4”…6”… or 8” . A general rule of thumb therefore is to space your fixtures evenly apart using the following formula:

3” Fixtures: Space them at 3 ft intervals

4” Fixtures: Space them at 4 ft intervals

5” Fixtures: Space them at 5 ft intervals.

6” Fixtures: Space them at 6 ft intervals.

Of course, the size of the room will have a strong bearing on the precise distance apart they should be so please bear this in mind when drawing up your lighting layout plan as you may need to adjust the above formula according to your needs, and the size dimensions you have to work with..

Recessed Lighting Design has evolved over the years to such a degree that manufacturers now offer high quality and very beautiful styles, trims and finishes. Because of the variety on the market there is always an option (or optionsJ) to suit most folks needs and the costs involved when it comes to this category of lighting is usually within most families budgets too which is excellent news.

Eyeball Recessed Lighting is a fixture I like very much because it allows you to direct the light beam to a desired spot such as a wall painting, a statue or a work of art etc because the “Eyeball” is adjustable. They are particularly good if you change the layout of your room often – like me:-).

Light Bulbs?

The commonest used are “R Lamps.” They have an inbuilt reflector and are very efficient bulbs.Halogen bulbs are also quite common and are good too but the best way to find out which is best for the fixtures that you opt for is to check with your lighting supplier as they will be able to offer the best advice depending on:-

(1) The ambience you wish to create...

(2) The size of the room...

(3) The Amount and Size of the fixtures you will be purchasing..

(4) The choices available in relation to the type of fixtures you opt for...

In the Photograph Below see how the owner cleverly uses his own touch of Recessed Lighting Design by uing two different sized fixtures to create a really nice subtle look.

Following from this you could for example alternate between 4” and 6” fixtures, so that you have one big one small, one big one small, and so on but once again do let your artistic inner self come out and I am sure the results will be a beauty to beholdJ.

Recessed Lighting Design and Installation it has been said before is not too difficult a task but as with all Lighting Fixtures we do highly recommend that you use a qualified electrician when it comes to installing any kind of lighting.

If you are going to go down the Diy Recessed Lighting “route” please read the instructions you will receive with your fixture(s) very carefully and only undertake the task at hand if you are absolutely 100% certain that you can manage to complete it carefully and safely. Please also apply the above to when it comes to the question of how to wire recessed lighting.
