Answers: How do I choose and install recessed lighting for a room?
- recessed lighting types
- can lights vs wafer lights
- lumen calculation for rooms
- recessed light spacing and layout
- cost comparison of recessed lights
- LED dimmer compatibility
- installing recessed lighting
What it concludes
- 6-inch Ensenior wafer lights offer the best value and ease of installation among the options tested.
- Wafer lights are significantly easier to install in ceilings with joists compared to traditional can lights.
- Dimmer selection matters for LEDs; standard dimmers can cause lights to stay on or fail to dim, requiring compatible LED+ dimmers like Lutron.
- Rule of thumb spacing for can or wafer lights is to have spacing between lights be twice the distance as the spacing between the first light and the wall.
