Recessed lighting is great for certain areas
The best room to use recessed lighting in is one with a low ceiling, or one in which the space near the ceiling is needed for shelving or cabinets. It works especially well in the kitchen. In order to install it, of course, you will need to put some holes in the ceiling and get help from an electrician in connecting the lights to a switch and your power system.
When looking for contractors in Weddington to work with recessed lighting, make sure they have the right licenses from the state of North Carolina, and that they have liability and workmens compensation insurance too. See if you can find a contractor who has been in business for at least ten years, with many positive testimonials and a good reputation in the Fort Mill, SC area. Feel free to ask prospective contractors for references, as well as asking people you know in the community. In particular, if you are in the home of someone who has especially good recessed lighting installed, be sure to ask who did it. Try to get more than one bid, but do not just pick the cheapest.
How Fort Mill, SC electricians set up recessed lighting
The key to installing recessed lighting well is knowing how many you need and where to put them. There should be space between recessed lights of about half the width of the ceiling, and the lights should also be at least two feet from the walls. You should decide in advance if there is a particular part of the room you want to focus the light on.
If you want to know how many recessed lights you plan to need, first you should decide what wattage of bulb you are going to use. Then you should measure the walls of the room to find out how many square feet it occupies. If you take the area of the room in square feet and multiply it by 1.5, then, according to interior designer Gabriele Di Stefano, you know the total wattage of the light you will need. Divide this number by the wattage of the bulbs and you know how many bulbs you need. With a dimmer switch, you can more precisely control the level of light in the room.
