Recessed lighting

Definition of the Recessed lighting

It is a light fixture that is installed into a hollow opening in a ceiling. When installed it appears to have
light shining from a hole in the ceiling, concentrating the light in a downward direction as a
broad floodlight or narrow spotlight.

Parts of the recessed lights: The recessed lights have three main parts:

1. Housing

2. Trim

3. Bulb

There are three parts to a recessed lighting fixture: housing, trim and bulb. The trim is the visible portion
of the light. It is the insert that is seen when looking up into the fixture, and also includes the thin lining
around the edge of the light. The housing is the fixture itself that is installed inside the ceiling and
contains the lamp holder. There are many different types of bulbs that can be inserted into recessed
lighting fixtures, with the amount of heat generated by the bulb being a unique consideration. Recessed
lighting has become more popular over the last decade for a host of reasons, one of which is that
recessed lighting makes a room feel bigger. This makes it especially popular in smaller rooms or any
room that needs to feel more spacious.

Benefits of the recessed lights:

1. It makes a room feel bigger because it actually takes up less visual space in the room. Because the
light cans are set into the ceiling itself, nothing hangs down to interrupt the visual space of the ceiling.
2. LED Recessed lights also makes a room look bigger due to an effect called “wall washing”. No, that
doesn’t mean you go and take soap and water to the walls. Wall washing is a lighting effect that casts
more light around the room via use of the right kind of trim (the part of the light that is visible from the
hole in the ceiling). Wall washed trim involves a directional reflector and a light scoop that directs light
onto the wall. If you have a sloped ceiling, an “eyeball trim” can be used.

3. Recessed LED light also casts light on the wall you want to highlight for other design reasons. Consider
recessed lighting if you want to highlight a wall bookcase, works of art or a special collection of some
sort.

4. There are also other benefits of recessed lighting. First of all, it comes in all kinds of colors (the trim
and the lights and the reflectors) so they can be used to really upgrade a room in several ways. The
casing for recessed lights also protects it from dust, children and mishaps, so it’s also a safer lighting
option than hanging lights.

Conclusion:

If you want to take all the benefits of the recessed lights so you must focus the distance of it. It should
be placed correctly because if it is not installed correctly so it can’t give wall washing effect. For
example, if you your ceiling are 9 feet high, we place the recessed light fixtures 2-3 feet away from the
wall and from each other. . The higher the ceiling, the higher that spacing will need to be. it will literally
wash the wall with overlapping, ambient light which is the significant aim of these lights.
