  • Typical lighting features hang from the ceiling or walls (think chandeliers and wall sconces). However, recessed lighting fits into your home's ceiling in two parts: the trim and the housing. The trim attaches to the ceiling, while the housing fixture encloses the bulb that will light up your space.

  • Recessed lighting is perfect for the great outdoors! Soffit lighting brings subtle brightness to your home's exterior without lots of added maintenance. This type of lighting fits neatly beneath the roof's eaves and is easily installed by our professionals. Our customers choose soffit lighting because of:

    • Its versatility—light beams can be angled to accent specific areas of the home
    • Waterproof and insulated components
    • Its small size and ability to blend in with other landscape features
    • Its ease to maneuver and potential to create a spotlight effect

What to Consider When Installing Recessed Lighting

We want to help our customers make the most of the cost to install recessed lighting. In order to get the most bang for your buck, we suggest considering a few things as you decide on lighting fixtures. Our team can help you think through these concerns:

Ceiling Condition

Since recessed lighting is installed within the ceiling, it makes sense that you'll need to consider the ceiling's condition. We'll need to know the ceiling's slope, materials, and type of insulation before getting started.

Number of Fixtures

How many fixtures do you plan to install? Depending on the size of the room, you may need more or fewer than average. Our team will help you decide on a number, accounting for square footage, wattage, type of bulb, ceiling height, and amount of natural light.

Layout

Be sure to think about how you'd like your fixtures spaced out. We recommend evenly spacing recessed lights for a professional, balanced look.

Fixture Ratings

Recessed lighting installed in kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and garages likely need a fixture rated for moisture. Our team can answer all your questions about popular models and their moisture ratings.

Electrical Capability

Our team will come in handy when determining if your system can handle the additional demand caused by recessed lighting. We'll make sure your fixtures are installed safely without overloading your existing circuits. We may need to install new circuitry to support your lighting fixtures.

Function and Beauty

Recessed lighting is popular because of its dual benefit—function and beauty. These lighting fixtures will meet your brightening needs while adding a hint of style to your space. If you'd like, you can opt for dimming features, additional switches, and adjustable fixtures. Our team can help you explore all of your choices, including:

  • Incandescent bulbs
  • Fluorescent bulbs
  • Energy Star features
  • Line voltage
  • Low voltage halogen
  • Standard halogen
  • Fire barrier housings
  • Multiple recessed spots
  • Swivel lighting
  • Downlighting
  • LED swivel lighting
  • Recessed lighting is an excellent option for spaces throughout (and outside) your home. Whether you're planning to brighten up your home's interior or exterior, well-placed recessed lighting could be the solution you're looking for. We recommend these fixtures for the following uses:

    • Spotlighting decorative elements
    • Task lighting in kitchens and bathrooms
    • Downlighting
    • Accent lighting
    • Multi-use rooms and dimming
    • Wall-washing to make small rooms look and feel larger

    Highly recommended! Installed my Tesla Charger and it was a difficult project with my breaker box in the basement but it was no issue at all.
