Wall Washer Recessed Lighting spacing guidelines
 

When you attempt to design the Recessed Lighting layout, wall washing fixtures should be mounted at a specific distance from the wall to ensure a smooth graded wash, so focus the light on the wall at a wide angle. By moving the fixture  closer or farther away from the wall, you can adjust the angle of  the fallen light.

First, you should get the distance between the wall and your recessed light on the ceiling, then you get the distance between each recessed light. You have to make the distance between lights equal to the distance between the wall and the lights. That distance depends on your ceiling height, equal to 0.33 of your ceiling height.

It is preferred to use a wall wash Recessed Lighting trim, which have a directional reflector that focus the light only toward the wall. Some wall washing trims have are adjustable so you can control the light output even more closely and make it simple if you have a sloped ceiling. Don’t  mount  wall washers near doors where they can glare into the eyes of people entering the room.

Wall washing is different from wall grazing, wall grazing provides dramatic light that reveals the texture of a brick, stone, or stucco. Wall grazing is similar to wall washing in practice, but the fixtures are located closer to the wall. In this technique you focus the light on the wall or the target at a narrow angle, to produce shadowing that reveals texture. You can control the shadowing by adjusting the light angle.
