In the case of LED retrofit trims, the light source is integrated into the trim so no bulb is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/products\/recessed-lighting\/bulb-type_led\/\"><strong>LED Retrofit Kits<\/strong><\/a> are an easy way to update older recessed fixtures to energy-efficient LEDs.

Which one you need depends on how they are being installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/products\/recessed-lighting\/usage_housing\/type_new-construction\/\">New Construction Housings<\/a><\/strong><br>For use in construction spaces before the sheetrock or drywall ceiling has been installed. They use hanger-bars to attach to the ceiling joists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/products\/recessed-lighting\/usage_housing\/type_remodel\/\">Remodel Housings<\/a><\/strong><br>These are smaller and intended for areas where ceiling access is limited. They are installed through a small hole cut in the drywall or sheetrock and are held in place with clips to the ceiling drywall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Housings also have an IC or \u201cInsulation Contact\u201d Rating that you&#8217;ll want to keep in mind. Be sure your choice will pass the building codes in your area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2022 IC Rated Housings<\/strong><br>For use where the housing will be in contact with insulation material. These are designed with extra heat shielding, allowing insulation to cover the housing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2022 Non-IC Housings<\/strong><br>These do not offer the same level of heat protection, so they are used in un-insulted ceilings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, recessed fixtures come in two different power options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2022 Line Voltage Systems<\/strong><br>These systems connect into your home&#8217;s standard 110-120 volt feed, just like any other ceiling light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2022 Low Voltage Systems<\/strong><br>These use a transformer that converts or steps-down your home&#8217;s regular current to a lower voltage, commonly 12 volts. They typically offer a more controlled, focused beam of light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Choose Your Trim<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-2871 size-medium\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/ideas-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/27424-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"A recessed can and and trim fixture.\" class=\"wp-image-2871\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/ideas-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/27424-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/ideas-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/27424-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/ideas-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/27424-45x45.jpg 45w, https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/ideas-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/27424.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A recessed light can add focused light to your space.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>When choosing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/products\/recessed-lighting\/usage_trim\/\">recessed light trim<\/a>, make sure it&#8217;s the same size, brand, and product family as the housing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a number of different types of trim, each with its own unique advantages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2022 Baffle Trim<\/strong> has a ribbed interior that minimizes glare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2022 Reflector Trim<\/strong> has a reflective interior to amplify the illumination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2022 Gimbal Trims<\/strong> pivot and adjust to focus light where you want it. Good for art and other wall decorations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2022 Wall Wash Trim<\/strong> uses a scoop to direct and confine light to a specific area of the wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">General Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Light Placement<\/strong><br>Lights should be placed 4 to 6 feet apart for general room lighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For task lighting over countertops and other workspaces, lights can be closer together, at 1 to 2 feet apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For artwork, use an angled gimbal trim to direct the light as needed. To minimize glare, the beam should be at a 30-degree angle when directed toward the center of the artwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Using Dimmers<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/dimmer-selection\/\">Dimmers add extra versatility<\/a> and ambiance to your system. For LEDs, be sure to use an LED compatible dimmer. Line voltage systems with incandescent bulbs work with a standard wall dimmer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sloped Ceilings<\/strong><br>If you have an angled or sloped ceiling, look for these specially designed housings and trim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Shower Lighting<\/strong><br>For showers and covered outdoor spaces, use housings and trim rated for enclosed shower use. They are designed to protect critical electronic components from exposure to moisture and steam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Airtight Housings<\/strong><br>These are sealed to keep heated air from escaping through the fixture and are recommended if installing lights on top floors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Replacing Recessed Lighting<\/strong><br>There are new products on the market now that make replacing recessed lighting a simple process. These retrofit kits make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/products\/recessed-lighting\/type_retrofit\/\">replacing recessed lighting<\/a> easy. You can turn an old recessed light into an LED light, or convert a recessed light into a regular hanging fixture or ceiling light without having to go through the hassle of capping off or covering over the recessed opening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Recessed Lighting Ideas and Advice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/ideas-and-advice\/an-in-depth-guide-recessed-lighting-trim-and-bulbs\/\">An In-Depth Guide: Recessed Lighting Trim and Bulbs<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/ideas-and-advice\/led-recessed-lighting-three-reasons-to-say-yes\/\">LED Recessed Lighting: Three Reasons to Say Yes<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/ideas-and-advice\/recessed-lighting-for-living-rooms-entryways-and-dining-rooms\/\">Recessed Lighting Solutions for Living Rooms, Entryways, and Dining Rooms<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/ideas-and-advice\/four-brilliant-ways-to-use-recessed-lighting-in-your-bathroom\/\">Four Brilliant Ways to Use Recessed Lighting in Your Bathroom<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/ideas-and-advice\/kitchen-recessed-lighting-layout-and-planning\/\">Kitchen Recessed Lighting \u2013 Layout and Planning<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/ideas-and-advice\/how-to-buy-recessed-lighting\/\">10 Recessed Lighting Tips<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/ideas-and-advice\/choosing-the-right-ceiling-light\/\">Choosing the Right Ceiling Light<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Housing, trim, light source: You&#8217;re on your way to buying the right recessed lighting for your space. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":2870,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[99,28],"tags":[73],"class_list":["post-2839","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-buying-guides","category-ceiling-lights","tag-recessed-lighting"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>How to Buy Recessed Lighting - Ideas &amp; Advice | Lamps Plus<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Learn how to buy recessed lighting in this official Lamps Plus guide with steps on how to pick the right trim and housing.
