Common questions for Recessed Lighting Installation in Selma
How many recessed lights do I need?
Spacing depends on ceiling height and use. A general guideline is the ceiling height in feet equals the spacing in feet. An 8-foot ceiling spaces lights at about 8 feet. Task and accent lighting is closer.
Can you install recessed lights without attic access?
Yes, with retrofit wafer LEDs that install through a 4-inch hole in the drywall. Cable is fished from a switch or junction box. The result looks identical to a deep-can install.
Will recessed lighting work with smart switches?
Yes. We install dimmable LED housings paired with smart dimmers (Lutron Caseta, Leviton Decora Smart). Compatibility check happens on the site walk.
How much does recessed lighting cost per fixture?
Per-fixture cost includes the housing, the trim, the wiring, and the labor to fish cable. Bulk installs (kitchen retrofit with 8-12 cans) are more efficient than one-off adds.
Do recessed lights leak heat?
Older non-IC recessed cans leak conditioned air into attics. Modern IC-AT (insulation contact, airtight) housings seal the ceiling. We use IC-AT in any installation where the housing is in conditioned ceiling space.
