Best Rule for Light Spacing for Recessed Lights in basement
Comments (1)It depends on your lighting requirement per sq ft. Lighting the basement should be no different from other spaces in the darkest nights. Assuming that the space will be used as a general living space, 4 ft apart would work fine....See MoreWhat's the best placement for recessed lights over a Plasma/LCD
Comments (5)normclc, thanks for the help!! When you say I should use only black or clear trim, does this include the outer trim also? I was thinking something like this: http://usalight.com/tb1314p-c-126-p-1-pr-51.html (white outer and dark inner) If not, you've DEFINITELY saved me from a costly error, because I was planning to use 'WHITE' trims thinking they'd blend into the ceiling better. Maybe I should just use all black trims????? Also, can the gimbals be used as wall washing trims? Ultimately, I'd like to use the gimbals to accent things on the wall (paintings or shelving) however, I don't have anything to accent right now, so I was just planning to angle the lights to create a wall washing effect. What do you think? Thanks Again!!...See MoreBest LED recessed lights for sloped ceiling?
Comments (3)We recently put all new LED ceiling lights in as part of a larger whole house remodel. Although not in a bathroom, for the slanted ceilings in kitchen and family room, the GC wanted to put lights that pivot (I think they are called Gimbals). We rejected that and had them install normal LEDs that do not move. The ceiling lights create general lighting, and we didn't feel we wanted more directional lighting coming from the ceiling. In a bathroom your task lighting will be sconces in or on either sides of the morror, or lighting over the sinks. This is a personal choice and the GC was surprised we didn't want the gimbals, but we really did not. Other things to consider are the temperature of the lights. The higher the number, the more cool/daylight the light will be. I prefer the more daylight ones. Also, it's nice to put them on a dimmer so you can control the brightness. I can't recommend a particular brand because the electricians buy them in huge quantities and we went with what they supplied....See MoreBest Alternatives to Recessed Lighting?
