What are recessed lights?
Recessed lights are lights built into the ceiling, which can light the room without extending beyond the plane of the ceiling’s surface.
What are the benefits of recessed lights?
They’re unobtrusive and convenient, without visible electric cords, lampshades or other accoutrements to clutter up the room. They provide strong and reliable light, but their lack of obtrusiveness helps you center attention on other things in the room.
Are they difficult to install?
No, though they usually require a professional electrician. Small openings are made in the ceiling for the lights, which are installed in metal housings mounted to the inside of the ceiling. An electrician then runs wires to the switch.
Can I upgrade them once they’re installed?
Yes. The housings can usually support more modern recessed lights, including lower voltage models that use less power.
Are there additional safety features involved?
Yes. For example, the electrician will need to install heatproof fixtures if there is insulation above the ceiling, and wiring needs to be protected from moisture.
