Fundamentals of Fixture Placement

Knowing how to correctly place fixtures (especially recessed lights) is probably the MOST important thing for you to learn.  While there can be different subjective thoughts on how room should be lit, the correct spacing and correct distances off walls are much more objective measurements.   You have one opportunity to get it right…are you convinced that your thoughts are correct?

Comparing Recessed Lighting Fixtures

Just as with speakers, TVs and shades, there are differences in quality and different features with each manufacturer.  The same is true with recessed lights, but how do you know what to look for?  How do you defend your fixture choice when someone else on the “team” questions you or introduces an alternate fixture?  If you don’t know the minute differences, then everything is subjective and harder to defend.

Comparing Linear LED Fixtures

Just as with speakers, TVs and shades, there are differences in quality and different features with each manufacturer.  The same is true with low voltage linear LED fixtures, but how do you know what to look for?  How do you defend your fixture choice when someone else on the “team” questions you or introduces an alternate fixture?  If you don’t know the minute differences, then everything is subjective and harder to defend.
