Why We Love Kitchen Recessed Lighting
Recessed lighting in the kitchen is a great complementary source of lighting to an existing light fixture or natural light source. Recessed lighting can also be more than just complementary and functional in the kitchen too as many of the recessed light fixtures and can lights in this selection are decorative and contemporary to give your kitchen that extra bit of character it may need. Whatever your kitchen's layout is, there are recessed ceiling lights here that are sure to fit the space.
[[BREAK]]Recessed lighting is all too often thought of as just a functional type of lighting that is aimed to only complement other sources of light. But this collection of modern recessed trims and their housings bring an elegant touch to kitchens that you'll notice for their stylish appeal and focused task light. And in the kitchen, as well as other workspaces in the home, bright and focused light is welcomed to help you with meal preparation, following recipes, etc. Recessed lighting is also highly versatile, having the unique ability to easily blend in with almost any interior aesthetic.
Kitchen Recessed Lights for Every Style
Unlike a decorative pendant or grand chandelier that suspends from the ceiling, recessed lighting is mounted within your ceiling and is non-obstrusive to the rest of the design of the space. Kitchen recessed lights, also known as can lights or high-hat lights, provide you with an ideal amount of downlighting that is perfect over the kitchen sink, the range/oven or even over the kitchen table when you have low ceiling height. Kitchen recessed ceiling lights are a great alternative to other forms of lighting, but can still provide the same amount of light output you need for the room. Juno's collection of trims and housings allow you to cohesively design any kitchen area with all of the pieces you need. When choosing a technical form of lighting, you'll appreciate the ease of shopping with one manufacturer. You may also want to look at WAC Lighting's collection for a wide variety of trim sizes. And finally, if you're set on using 3" recessed trims, look to the expertly modern assortment from Element.
Choosing the Best Kitchen Recessed Lighting
Recessed lighting is a technical choice of lighting and requires careful consideration of the fixtures you want to place in your kitchen. However, thanks to advances in technology and design, you'll be sure to find almost any style of recessed ceiling lights you need and have them installed in no time. To start, measure the space in your kitchen where you intend to install can lights. Keep in mind that a complete recessed fixture is composed of the housing that mounts inside of the ceiling and the trim (the part of the fixture that is visible from the ceiling). If you choose a 3" housing, you'll need to choose a 3" trim. You will also need to determine whether you need recessed housings for new construction homes or for remodel projects and how they will install in relation to your ceiling's insulation. With a size and functional purpose in mind, you can then refine your recessed trim options by colors, finishes and bulb type. Lastly, because task lighting in the kitchen requires bright focused light, be sure to see the fixture's lumen output.

Other Considerations
Consider putting a dimmer on your recessed lighting to easily control how much light output there is in the room. Dimmer switches are compatible with most can lights and are relatively easy to install in place of a common light switch. Other low profile fixtures can also be used for elegant kitchen lighting too. Similar to recessed fixtures, flush mount lighting is installed completely out of the way while providing significant style and downlight. Semi-flush ceiling lights are also installed close to the ceiling with a small (usually 3" to 4") clearance between the fixture and its ceiling canopy. With any modern fixture you choose, you'll happily welcome eye-catching appeal to the kitchen.
