Why Choose LED Recessed Ceiling Lights?
Versatile LED recessed ceiling lights (or “can lights") offer many benefits over traditional recessed lighting for commercial and residential applications. Choosing a long-lasting, all-in-one LED fixture reduces maintenance expenses, without having to replace bulbs. LED recessed lights provide even, ambient or focused task lighting without having to replace bulbs, reducing maintenance hassles and expenses. Energy-efficient LEDs also cost less to operate and are eco-friendlier options compared to traditional incandescent or fluorescent bulbs.
Their versatile, contemporary style and availability in a range of sizes means they fit seamlessly with any decor and can be combined with other lighting for a complete lighting scheme. And they are ideal for shorter ceiling heights where surface-mount or suspended lights require more clearance.
Buying the Right Recessed LED Ceiling Lights For Your Project
Size and ceiling compatibility are two of the most important factors to consider when choosing recessed lighting for your project.
- Size: The right size for your recessed ceiling lights depends on your space and what and how much you want to illuminate. Smaller sizes (1- or 2-inch lights) fit in corners, niches, and other hard-to-light areas, while larger sizes provide more general room coverage, ideal for living rooms or kitchens where suspended lights may be too obtrusive.
- Ceiling Compatibility: For safe and effective installation, ensure the lights are suitable for your ceiling type. Because recessed lighting housing is embedded in the ceiling and generates heat, if you have insulation, choose only fixtures rated IC (insulation contact), which are specially designed for your ceiling type. Non-IC recessed ceiling lights should be placed several inches away from insulation and absolutely cannot come into direct contact with it.
- Wattage and Lumens: Lumen refers to the total light output from a light source, whereas wattage indicates its energy consumption. With advancements in energy-efficient lighting, it's now possible to produce the same level of lumens using progressively less energy. Look for higher light output in work areas and kitchens and lower output to create a relaxed atmosphere in bedrooms or lounges.
LED Recessed Lighting Applications
Recessed ceiling lights can be used almost anywhere as task, area, or even shower lighting (choose products rated for wet locations only). Here are just some of the applications for LED recessed lights:
