Recessed LED Lighting

Recessed lighting, also known as “can lighting,” is a fast and simple way to give your house a fresh look that also improves your ambient and task lighting, especially when you use LED lighting.

As an expert in the installation of recessed lights, your SESCOS electrician can provide top-notch tips on selecting, placing and wiring for recessed LED lighting. In this post we’ll take a look at some reasons you should consider adding some cans to your lighting plans.

1. Recessed Lights Give a Clean, Uncluttered Look

Sweep away the bulk of mismatched floor lamps and out-of-date light fixtures, replacing them with a modern light display that will

  • brighten up the entire room;
  • give you an open, spacious feel;
  • highlight favorite design elements;
  • make the room feel bigger.

2. Installation of Recessed Lights is Not Complicated

A qualified SESCOS electrician can replace your old lighting system quickly and safely whether you’re doing new construction or retrofitting your old system.

  • In the past, recessed lights could only be placed between ceiling jousts in new construction.
  • New models can fit right in as long as you make room for new wiring–an easy job for us at SESCOS.
  • In retrofititing, metal clips are used to push the housing unit of the lights into the ceiling.
  • Show us your design plan and we will make it happen.

3. Get the Right Mix of Lighting

Whether you want to enhance your ambient, task or accent lighting, recessed LED lamps are the one choice that can do it all, depending on how you place them.

  • The direct light of LED bulbs is perfect for task lighting.
  • A row of evenly spaced LED recessed lights will give the whole room the perfect level of ambient, everyday light.
  • Use a strategically placed light to accent a favorite piece of artwork or window.
  • Halogen and fluorescent bulbs don’t have the versatility of LED bulbs.

4. Recessed LED Lighting Goes Anywhere

Light up your life with bulbs that can create a beautiful atmosphere in every room of your house.

  • LED lights have the brightness of halogens but stay cool in temperature.
  • They can be set up on dimmer switches; ask your SESCOS electrician to show you how and to set up separate dimmers for each room or group of lights.
  • LED lights also come in a variety of beautiful colors.
  • They’re waterproof, making them ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, patios and decks.

5. Save Some Green

While wiring for recessed lighting will involve some up-front time and costs, the cost savings will pay that back quickly, and many times over.

  • LED lamps are long-lived, lasting 10 years or more with no dimming of brightness.
  • LED bulbs are the most energy-efficient type of bulb.
  • SESCOS can perform an energy audit to show you just how much energy and money you could be saving with an LED retrofit.
  • Recessed lighting adds value to your home.
