The Art of Placing Can Lights In Your Space -

Welcome to Anchor Electric of Florida’s guide on strategically placing can lights in your home. Whether you’re illuminating your kitchen, living room, bathroom, or outdoor spaces, we’ve got you covered. Let’s dive into the best locations for these versatile fixtures.

Kitchen Brilliance

Creating a well-lit kitchen involves strategic placement of can lights. Aim for even coverage by spacing fixtures 4 to 6 feet apart. Key areas to focus on include above countertops, sinks, and stoves for optimal task lighting. For added ambiance, consider placing can lights above kitchen islands and dining areas.

Living Room Comfort

In the living room, use can lights to highlight focal points such as artwork, bookshelves, and seating areas. Space fixtures about 6 to 8 feet apart for general lighting, and use adjustable trim to direct light where it’s needed most. Dimmers can add versatility, allowing you to adjust the light level for different activities.

Bathroom Illumination

In the bathroom, proper lighting is essential for grooming tasks. Install can lights above the vanity mirror to provide even illumination across the face without harsh shadows. Supplement with sconces or pendants for both style and functionality. Consider waterproof can lights for the shower area to ensure safety and durability.

Outdoor Enhancement

Extend your living space outdoors with well-placed can lights. Illuminate pathways, landscaping features, and architectural elements for safety and curb appeal. Opt for weather-resistant fixtures and consider security and
aesthetics when designing your outdoor lighting plan. Motion sensor can lights can add an extra layer of security.

Utility Area Utility

Utility areas like laundry rooms, garages, and basements benefit from ample lighting. Install can lights strategically above workbenches, storage areas, and appliances to improve visibility and enhance functionality. Use bright, energy-efficient LED bulbs to ensure these areas are well-lit and practical.
