Where Outdoor Recessed Lighting Works Best
Highly efficient and versatile, wet rated recessed lighting works well in just about any outside application. Your outdoor kitchen benefits greatly from as much lighting as you need above your grill, sink and specialty appliances. Recessed lights over a dining area deliver controllable light that allows you to set the mood as you see fit. You can also install outdoor recessed lighting over a covered spa or pool area, in a gazebo and in plenty of other locations on your grounds. Even a covered parking area like a carport would benefit from a little extra illumination. And wall-mounted recessed lights or step lights for the deck transform the look of your home at night with functional, usable light. It also offers a great element of safety for your outdoor living areas too.
