How Do You Plan For Installing Recessed Lighting?
Recessed lighting can update the look of a room and provide lighting to key areas such as a countertop or reading area. If want to install recessed lighting in a room that already has light fixtures, you should plan where you want to position the recessed lights. We’ll walk you through the steps here. Use a stud finder to find and mark the joists in the room where you want to add lighting. Plan to install the lighting around the joists. Mark several spots about 6 to 7 feet apart to get the lighting effect that you want. Drill a small hole at each spot and poke a wire coat hanger through the hole to check for obstructions. If there are no obstructions, installation can begin. If there are obstructions, choose a new spot and repeat the process.
