Recessed lights

11 years ago

This house is spectacular. I'm designing my home in the bahamas with this as my inspiration. What is the spacing between the 3" recessed lights?

Thank you!

Hello and thank you! These lights are roughly 2'-0" on center, however when designing your space, be sure to keep in mind the scale and proportions. Lights clustered too close or too far may cause uneven light levels and an unbalanced geometry. Hope this helps and good luck with your project!
