Adding these fixtures in your kitchen is especially helpful, because it will give you additional lighting (we can never have too much brightness in a kitchen). Installing them under your kitchen counter tops will show you a whole new perspective in your kitchen for sure.

If you have a painting or some other piece of valuable art, recessed light is a great way to showcase your piece. Place the bulbs 10-,12-inches from the wall and not directly above the frame’s art picture.

If you feel you don’t have the know-how or the will to install your recessed fixtures, that is okay. There are many qualified professionals that will install them exactly as you want them to. Your job will be to decide what type of recessed lighting fixture you want. The two most common types are downlights and eyeball lighting fixtures. Downlights focus on one area, while eyeballs can be positioned to specific areas. There are also recessed light units that hang from the ceiling – think of them like upside down lamps.

When installing these lights, be sure that they are not too close together or too far apart. How will you know? Well, it is not an exact science, but the rule of thumb is if you purchase 4-inch lights, place them four feet apart and so on.

4, 5, and 6-inch lighting fixtures are the basic sizes to choose from. Choose 4-inch recessed lighting fixtures for smaller spaces. The 6-inch ones work better in hallways and more open spaces.

You will also have to decide what type of bulb to choose from – Halogen, Incandescent, LED, or R bulbs. Halogens are particularly nice to have because they are a clean white light that will make any object or area in your home look that much better.
