What kind of style are you going for in your home? Today, most people opt for modern and contemporary aesthetics. One of the simplest ways to add a touch of modern flair to your space is recessed lighting. This feature gives the perfect blend of form and function, adding light to poorly-lit areas and becoming a decorative element in itself. If recessed lighting sounds like the best option for your home in Lafayette, Broussard, or Scott, LA, our team can help. Mr. Electric of Lafayette specializes in recessed lighting installation, and we're glad to answer all our customers' questions. Our local electricians will discuss the lighting layout as well as budgetary concerns. Learn more about how to install recessed lighting in your home.
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
