Recessed lighting installation in Galesburg: local conditions matter
Galesburg is in Kalamazoo County in Southwest Michigan, a region of older city neighborhoods, lake cottages, orchards and farms. Lake-effect snow in winter and thunderstorms in summer both test electrical systems here. When we handle recessed lighting installation in Galesburg, we look at the age of the wiring first, because it varies enormously from one street to the next.
Getting recessed lighting right
The difference between a good recessed lighting job and a poor one is layout. Too few lights leave scallops and shadows. Too many make a ceiling look like an airport runway. As a starting point we space fixtures at about half the ceiling height, then adjust for cabinets, beams and seating. In Galesburg homes with attics above, we use airtight fixtures so heated air is not lost through the ceiling in winter.
