Recessed Lights

Recessed lighting is a highly practical, multi-functional and visually pleasing lighting solution that blends well with most design schemes. Recessed down lights, sometimes known as ceiling recessed lights or recessed can lights, are the most common form of architectural lighting found in residences today.

Recessed lighting can achieve a wide range of lighting effects in a variety of indoor and outdoor applications. Use recessed LED light fixtures to illuminate an entire room, accent chosen features within the room, highlight textured surfaces for visual drama, and/or direct functional light toward specific areas where necessary. Ambient lighting, task lighting, accent lighting, wall washes, and wall grazing are all possible with recessed lighting fixtures.

What is the best brand of recessed lighting?
- - PureEdge is considered one of the premier recessed lighting brands, offering high quality, creative, and energy efficient architectural recessed lighting systems and fixtures. PureEdge offers high quality, energy efficient architectural lighting including recessed lighting. Their minimalist and customizable recessed lighting enables lighting designers to create dynamic and artistic lighting effects.
What are some good alternatives to recessed lighting?
- - While recessed lighting is a highly practical and visually pleasing solution, there are alternatives that can be more suitable depending on the specific needs of a space. For instance, track lights and monorail lighting can be stylish and practical alternatives, especially in rooms with high ceilings. Ceiling light fixtures like chandeliers, pendant lighting, and multi-pendant suspensions can act as visual centerpieces in a room, provided the ceiling is high enough and space isn't a concern. Task light solutions like LED lights installed under cabinets can provide targeted illumination for specific tasks2. Ultimately, the best lighting solution depends on the specific requirements of the space and the desired aesthetic.
What type of lighting is best for high ceilings?
- - For high ceilings, large light fixtures can make a significant impact. Large chandeliers, pendant lighting, and multi-pendant suspensions are eye-catching decorative fixtures that can act as a visual centerpiece in a room with a high ceiling. Additionally, track and monorail lighting can be practical alternatives to recessed lighting in rooms with high ceilings. For a more contemporary look, linear architectural recessed lighting, like the TruLine Plaster-In LED Systems by PureEdge Lighting, can be a great choice6. Lastly, adjustable spotlights with a canopy can be perfect for accent lighting in rooms with high ceilings, allowing you to direct light at different objects such as art, pictures, or collectibles
