Lighting (mostly) Out of Sight

Sunday September 7, 2008
You might think that everyone has recessed lighting these days. Most new homes now include some recessed lighting in hallways, entryways, or bathrooms. Cans are installed into the ceiling with only a ring and bulb visible to the eye. It’s a simple, uncluttered look that can be used in nearly any room of a new home, as well as in some areas of an older home.

If you live in a more traditional, older home, you might not be sure if recessed lighting is for you. Simple small cans installed under cabinets like these are just one form of recessed lighting that could go in almost any home, regardless of age or style. You can get some basics of recessed lighting in this quick informational feature.

If you've changed out traditional ceiling fixtures for recessed lighting, let us know. We can all benefit from the experience of others.
