Square Recessed Lighting

Why We Love Square Recessed Lighting

As a desirable form of ceiling lighting, recessed lighting with square trims add an instant contemporary look to your home. Square recessed lighting is primarily reserved for low profile areas of the home and they work well layer in among other lighting fixtures. From designs that are highly decorative to those that are more functional than fashionable, square trims are a go-to choice for in-ceiling lighting. And whether it is a remodeling project or completely new construction, you'll find an assortment of recessed trims perfect for your application.

Where Square Recessed Lighting Works Best

Recessed lighting is a popular choice for rooms with less than a standard 8-foot ceiling to floor height. These rooms may include hallways, laundry rooms, home offices and some bedrooms. Instead of protruding from the ceiling, these fixtures are tucked away inside of the ceiling while still providing the same amount of downlight. Square recessed lighting trims, in particular, carry a modern aesthetic with clean lines and a familiar shape. You'll find options in bright LED or warmer hues from a halogen light source. And the size options are seemingly endless, ranging from petite 2" fixtures to 10" square recessed lighting fixtures.

How to Choose the Best Square Recessed Lights

As with any form of ceiling lighting, you'll want to begin your search by understanding the area where you plan to install new lighting. If you're working on a remodel, you'll need to keep in mind that you can only use recessed remodel housings and the appropriate square recessed trims. Conversely, in new buildings, you'll have to use new construction housings with your square trims. Be sure to take note of any insulation as well as it will determine the type of housing you need. Carefully measure the space on the ceiling where you'll be installing the new fixtures to help you choose the perfect trim size. And be sure to review the fixtures' lumen output to understand just how bright it will be.

Lastly, as with any recessed light trim, you'll need the matching recessed housing to complete the installation.
