"In new construction, recessed lighting is usually installed between ceiling joists, but you can retrofit recessed lighting&nbsp;almost anywhere in your home.If your ceiling is insulated, the recessed light fixtures must be IC housing rated, meaning they are approved for use near insulation.&nbsp;Avoid recessed lighting in concrete ceilings or in ceilings with detailed plasterwork or moulding.&nbsp;Choose a chandelier instead.&nbsp;Place recessed lights about 3 feet away from the wall to avoid creating shadows that make your ceilings look lower.&nbsp;When spacing recessed lights, use this general rule of thumb: divide the height of the ceiling by two to get the distance the lights should be from one another. For example, an 8-foot tall&nbsp;ceiling should have recessed lights spaced 4 feet apart. &nbsp;Use recessed lights to illuminate focal points such as kitchen bars, bookshelves, paintings, statues and fireplaces.&nbsp;&nbsp;For task lighting, install recessed lighting directly overhead. Examples of task lighting include lighting for reading areas, stovetops and sinks.&nbsp;Install recessed lights under kitchen cabinets to have focused light on counters.&nbsp;"
