What Is Recessed Lighting?

Recessed lighting is any form of lighting with fixtures installed directly into a ceiling, wall, floor, etc. Recessed lighting installations aren’t always completely flush with the surface or hidden within a hole into which they’re installed. Still, they will occupy less space within the room than traditional lighting installations.

Why Should I Install Recessed Lighting In My Home?

The most common reason to use recessed lighting in your home is perhaps the most simple—the unique aesthetic impact of recessed lighting compared to traditional installations. Recessed lighting offers a simple, sleek, modern, yet timeless appearance and removes the need to coordinate or match lighting fixtures to your room décor now or in the future.

It also offers practical benefits, such as better lighting targeting, preventing issues with headspace when you need lights on a low ceiling, the possibility of having light throughout a room without countless fixtures, etc.

Where To Use Recessed Lighting

One of the greatest strengths of recessed lighting lies in its versatility. It works well as general lighting for every place in your home that requires lighting, as it doesn’t clash with any particular aesthetic or décor—even rustic, traditional rooms can be accented with recessed lighting for convenience, with lights going unnoticed except when needed. It’s easy to replace most traditional fixtures with recessed lighting, too, as the openings used for wiring can frequently be adapted for a recessed lighting installation.

For more specific applications, it can also be useful when you need to target lighting for a particular spot, including wall washing on art, floor lighting, lighting of a workspace, and more. There’s a recessed lighting solution, whether you need general lighting, accent lighting, or task lighting.

Various Types Of Recessed Lighting

Recessed lighting encompasses many lighting types, as combining different housing, lighting, and trim results in drastically different effects.

You can have adjustable lights that pivot to focus light where you want it, deeply recessed lights with non-reflective sides for focused lighting of the area directly below, lights with focusing shrouds to cast a splash of light across a wall or ceiling, diffused lights for general ambiance—and that’s not considering the trim, the specific type of light being used, and other properties.

There’s recessed lighting suitable for nearly any lighting goal or preference. The John Nugent & Sons team will be happy to help you navigate your options.
