Recessed lighting installation in Lakeland: local conditions matter
Metro Detroit homes work their electrical systems hard, and more so every year as EV chargers, central air and home offices are added. In Lakeland and across Livingston County, we check the capacity of the panel and service before we begin recessed lighting installation, so that nothing new is hung on a system that is already full.
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 Lakeland homes with attics above, we use airtight fixtures so heated air is not lost through the ceiling in winter.
