What can you use recessed lighting for
General lighting
Recessed Lighting is ideal for extra light in any space. A, PAR and BR lamps are ideal choices for this application.
Task lighting
Task lighting where the need for a high attention to detail that requires high light levels, for example, in the kitchen, reading areas, recreational areas and bathroom vanities. BR, PAR and MR lamps are required to achieve the high light levels needs for this application.
Accent lighting
Where high light levels with controlled beam spread is needed to enhance visual effects of artifacts, painting, sculptures and flower arrangements. Reflector lamps are required to reach these high levels with controlled beam spread.
Wall-washing
Using Recessed Lighting for wall-washing makes a space look and feel larger by uniformly illuminating broad vertical surfaces. Wall-washing illuminates multiple objects at the same time, such as photography, paintings and tapestries. BR & PAR lamps with wide beam spreads are the lamps of choice for this application.
Grazing
The goal of wall-grazing is to create shadowing of objects or texture on vertical surfaces. The resulting effect is a sense of drama surrounding fireplaces and brick walls. Halogen or standard incandescent sources with narrow or spread beam PAR lamps are ideal. The grazing effect is best achieved by placing the fixture in close proximity to the vertical surface to be illuminated.
