5 Reasons To Install Recessed Lighting in Your Home
Recessed lighting adds an elegant touch to any room and provides ample illumination. However, it also serves some practical purposes that many homeowners overlook or don’t know about.
Below are five reasons you should consider adding recessed lighting to your home in the next few months.
1) Cost
Installation costs for lighting can vary widely, depending on the number of fixtures, the type of fixtures, the difficulty of installation, and whether you hire a professional or do it yourself. But in general, you can expect to pay between $50 and $200 per fixture. That may seem like a lot, but comparing it to the cost of other home improvement projects is pretty reasonable. Plus, the benefits of recessed lighting far outweigh the cost.
2) Safety
One of the most important reasons for adding recessed lighting is safety. Poorly lit stairs can be a tripping hazard, and dark corners can be dangerous. Adding recessed lighting will help you see better and avoid accidents.
3) Efficiency
Perhaps the most important reason to install recessed lighting is that it is much more efficient than other types. Traditional light fixtures waste a lot of energy by shining light in all directions, including up into the sky. Recessed lights only shine downwards, so all the light they produce is used much more effectively. This also makes them more energy-efficient, saving you money on your electric bill.
4) Style
- It can help save on energy costs.
- It can make a room feel more spacious.
- It can provide better illumination for tasks.
- It can be used to highlight architectural features.
- It can be used to create a mood in a room.
5) Comfort
When it comes to comfort, recessed lighting is a great way to add light without glare. This type of lighting is perfect for reading or working in your home office. Plus, it can help reduce eye strain and fatigue. One other added benefit of recessed lighting is that the lumens produced are typically warmer than other types of light. For example, the difference between a 2200-lumen incandescent lamp and an 865-lumen LED lamp will be evident as soon as you turn on the lights!
Final Thoughts
There are many reasons why you should add recessed lighting to your home. It can help save on energy costs, improve the look of your home, and increase the value of your property. Plus, it’s a great way to add extra light to any room in your house. If you’re thinking about adding lighting, contact a professional electrician for help.
