Looking to transform your space with recessed lighting? In this video, I've got you covered with the essential questions to ask for a perfect recessed light layout.

Before diving into the world of recessed lights, consider their purpose. Whether it's for task lighting while chopping herbs, lighting a path, or reading in bed, identifying the primary function will help you narrow down your options.

Learn about various types of recessed lights and how they cater to specific needs, be it a directed beam, architectural highlights, or ambient illumination.
Budgeting Wisdom: With an average house having many high hats (73 in our last one!), budgeting becomes crucial.

Discover how to set your budget for recessed lights, considering both interior and exterior needs. Dive into considerations like depth of rafters, beam or coffered ceilings, and any restrictions you may encounter.

Choosing the Right Type: Ready for the next step? Explore the types of recessed lights in our upcoming video. Understand which type suits your needs – whether it's a directed beam, architectural highlights, or ambient lighting. Delve into the details of baffles, reflectors, and black reflectors to minimize glare.

What do you want your trim kit to look like? Explore a variety of colors, from classic white and black to modern silver or the warmth of copper. Discover the sleek "TRIMLESS" holes in newer trim kits, allowing you to achieve a seamless look by using spackle or sheetrock mud to cover a hidden mesh ring.

Specs Matter: To meet the function described in step 1, pay attention to the specs. Learn about lumens, kelvins, and beam spread to ensure your chosen recessed lights not only look good but also deliver the perfect illumination for your space.
