Pot lights in a vaulted ceiling??

19 years ago

My husband & I just purchased our first home & our list of DYI projects is long & growing. One of the first things we are going to do is remove the "popcorn" from the valuted ceiling in our living/dining room. I was also thinking about putting potlights in that ceiling but my husband wasn't sure if that's "done". So, assuming we got the pot lights that are adjustable & can therefore deal with the angle of the ceiling... my question is, is there any issue with doing that and will it look OK?

there are specific recessed lights that are manufactured for vaulted ceilings. And yes, they do look great. I would check out the websites of Lightolier, Nora, Juno, and Halo. This will give you some idea of the depth needed and the look that they now have available. If you have a lighting showroom in the area, they will be able to also assist you in making this decision.

melmul,

Sounds like we are in the same boat. Just scraped my popcorn ceilings off of my vaulted ceiling in my main kitchen/dining/living area and need recessed lighting!

Be careful if you are going to DIY the scraping (popcorn used to contain asbestos until the late 70's I have heard). Also, be realllllly careful . . any gauges and scrapes show much more on the vault angle.
