Ceiling Lights: Pros and Cons

Decorating a home may bring out the interior designer in everyone, but don't let the necessity of lighting your home overshadow the importance of choosing furniture textiles. It's vital to decide the lighting fixture to use to determine what color to paint your walls, and you have a similar number of options to pick from.

Walking into a lighting store or the lighting section of your local hardware store can be intimidating, especially with all of the bright lights shining down on you. Do you like a large décor light or a light with a simple design? Do you want one that hangs down or stays near the ceiling?

Chandeliers, pendant lighting, track lighting, ceiling fans with light fixtures, semi-flush mounts, and other ceiling lights are available. However, regardless of which model you choose, they will all extend from the ceiling by several inches or several feet.

Pros:

Traditional ceiling lights allow you to create a bold or subtle statement.
Because a whole half-sphere is visible to both the room and you, they cast their light across a larger region.
You may need one or two ceiling lights to light up the room, depending on the amount of ceiling light you choose and the size of the space you're illuminating.
You'll need to make a hole in your ceiling large enough for cables to pass through.

Dining rooms, kitchen islands, bedrooms, foyers, and patios are good places to put ceiling lights.

Cons:
It might detract from the room's design by making the light the focal point.
A room with only one light source can result in dark parts.
Using more than two or three of them in a room makes the space appear smaller.
For taller than average guests, hanging ceiling lights can be dangerous.

Basements, water-intensive situations, narrow halls, and rooms with low ceilings don't work well with ceiling lights.

Lights that are recessed

Recessed lights, also known as can lights, are metal light housings inserted in the ceiling for a sleek design that restores the ceiling's original appearance. Their diameter ranges from 3 to 6 inches.
Pros:
The light itself is small and barely noticeable.
Allows for more ceiling space, making your area appear and feel larger.
It may be used as a spotlight, ideal for showcasing art or creating small reading places.
It can brighten the entire room rather than simply the center when properly positioned.

You can install recessed ceiling light for remodeling a room.

Kitchens, corridors, shower stalls, home movie theaters, basements, and other areas with low ceilings benefit from recessed lighting. Contact the Morristown electrician for commercial and industrial work.
