My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Recessed lights layout

last month
last modified: last month

This is my first post and I would appreciate any feedback. Thank you in advance.

My living/dining room is 28’-11” x 19’ x 11’ tall. I would like to use 4 row X 6 columns of 4” recessed lights on two separate circuits (12 lights for living, 12 lights for dining) per the sketch below. Is this excessive?
