Sloped Ceiling Recessed Lighting: Hire A Licensed Electrician
Recessed lighting is a popular lighting concept for many homes. It is very appealing due to its adaptability, functionality, and energy efficiency. You can read more about recessed lighting advantages in this blog. One of the many examples of adaptability for recessed lights is how they can be installed in homes that have sloped ceilings. Let’s explore how sloped ceiling recessed lighting is a great lighting option for sloped ceilings, how they work, and why installation should be done by a professional.
What Are Sloped Ceiling Recessed Lights?
For starters, sloped ceiling recessed lighting is exactly how it sounds; recessed light fixtures that are made for sloped ceilings. Your basic recessed light is made up of a housing/can, a mounting frame and bar, and a recessed lighting trim. The main difference between a regular recessed light fixture and a sloped ceiling recessed light fixture is that the sloped ceiling fixture housing/can is longer on one side (see the picture below).
How Does Sloped Ceiling Recessed Lighting Work?
The reason why the sloped ceiling recessed can has one side longer is obviously to accommodate for the slope in the ceiling so that the light shines straight down. This is why sloped ceiling recessed lighting makes the perfect lighting option for vaulted or cathedral ceilings, A-frame beach houses, or even an angled ceiling in an attic.
