Before: Dull, outdated fixtures can make a room feel dated and dim. Recessed lighting offers a sleek, modern solution, perfect for kitchens, living rooms, or bathrooms. Start by assessing your space to determine the number of fixtures needed (one per 4-6 square feet). Choose 4-6 inch LED recessed lights, ideally dimmable and IC-rated for insulated ceilings. Gather tools: a stud finder, drywall saw, voltage tester, wire cutters, and electrical cable. Verify your circuit can handle the load and turn off power at the breaker for safety.
After: Mark light locations, avoiding joists, and cut precise holes using a drywall saw. Run electrical cable from the power source to each spot, connecting to a dimmer switch. Install recessed cans, securing them with clips, and connect wires (black to black, white to white, ground to ground). Snap trims in place, restore power, and test. The result? A bright, modern space with seamless illumination, transforming your home’s ambiance.
Conclusion: Recessed lighting delivers a clean, contemporary upgrade, enhancing both style and functionality effortlessly.
