We start with 1 light and then add 6 more, resulting as 7 in total with a 44″ gap. In our example, round up 5.7 to 6 lights and repeat the process.Ģ64″/6 lights = a spacing of 44″ between the centre line of each of the 7 recessed lights ![]() Now that you know the number of lights required, calculate the distance between each one by dividing the length of row of lights in inches by the nearest whole number of lights. Place 1 recessed light 2 feet (24″) from the wall, allow for the same gap at the opposite wall and then see how many more lights will fit in by dividing 22 feet (26′ -2′ -2′ = 264″) by 46″ = 5.7 lights. Round up or down the result to the nearest whole number and repeat the calculation.Ī grid layout calculation for general illumination places the first recessed light to be 2 feet from a wall or piece of high level furniture like a kitchen wall cabinet, with an equal space between the last light and the wall on the opposite side.ĭivide the remaining distance by 46 inches to calculate an estimate to how many lights are required. So the number of lights is determined by how tightly spaced they are, and here’s how to determine that number.ĭivide your measured length or width by the distance you want the lights spaced by the chosen spacing distance. For Accent Lighting aim directly at art, books or other objects of interest to create a dynamic focal point in the living room spaced individually or in groups of three with a 40″ (1000mm) spacing.Īll recessed ceiling lights differ in their brightness lumen level, some way more intense than others.įor more check out our tips on how to position recessed lights.For Task Lighting use a 32″ (800mm) spacing between lights for a more concentrated illumination.For Ambient Lighting use a 46″ (1200mm) distance between each recessed light.This is calculated by the amount of light being created measured by the lumen output, and how close each fixture is to be installed to each other. The distance between recessed light fixtures is first determined by the level of intensity of light required, which in lighting terms is the recommended lux level on the surfaces being lit. If irregular in shape, focus on the part that requires the lighting the most. ![]() ![]() Measure the length and width of the room in inches.
