What Are the Benefits of Recessed Lighting?
- Most recessed lighting has energy efficient parts and operates on a lower voltage than other lighting choices. Using a dimmer switch with the lighting can reduce electricity usage even further, garnering more cost savings.
- Recessed lighting can be installed virtually anywhere with a flat surface and electrical access, including sloped or vaulted ceilings, walls, under stairways, porches and patios and even under water in pools and ponds.
- General ambient lighting in a room is but one type of illumination recessed lighting provides. It also can serve as accent lighting to showcase an architectural aspect or art piece in addition to providing brighter task lighting within a work space such as a kitchen, home office or garage.
- Recessed lighting trim---the visible portion of the light casing---is customizable to match most any space, whether inside or outside. Mirror-like reflective surfaces, simple metal or colored rings and decorative, architectural trim designs are just a few options.
- Because recessed lighting is installed flush against a flat surface, its appearance is unobtrusive, allowing other elements of a living space to be the focal point.
