How far should recessed lights be from the kitchen cabinets. You can also check recessed lighting placement to know how to space the recessed lights for task and accent lighting layers. In most cases this will be about 12 or 13 from the wall.

If you plan to illuminate an entire wall or accent particular architectural features or pieces of art the rule of thumb is to place your recessed light fixtures between 1 5 feet and 3 feet from the wall.

For example if a row has four pot lights divide the length of the room by 4 and that will give you the distance in feet between each light. If you have upper cabinets another good rule of thumb is to center the lights with the edge of your countertops. Calculate recessed lights spacing between walls. Avoid putting recessed light over refrigerator.

This helps at lighting up foods and items on the countertop. However some designers prefer that the recessed lighting be closer to the upper cabinets. Use the smaller measurement if a fan s blades encroach upon your lights. The average distance between cabinets and recessed lights is 12 18 inches.

In the case the lights are too close to your countertop the light will be too bright and you get more shadows. The distance between the wall and the first light unit is the same as the distance between the wall and the last recessed light unit and is half the space between the recessed light fixtures. Recessed lights are too far away from the cabinet. However if you plan to install a ceiling fan in the kitchen you might need to adjust that distance to allow for at least a 9 inches between the lights and the blades.

In most homes that means that lights will be roughly 25 inches from the wall. Just take the room length and divide it by the number of recessed lights you decide to put in the row. You ll also want to install under cabinet lights wherever you have upper cabs. If there are uppers then the cans should be centered over the edge of the counter or about 25 from the wall.

Recessed lighting should be roughly 2 feet from the cabinets. Plan to install your kitchen recessed lights at least a foot and as far away as 18 inches from your cabinets faces. It s best to have at least 2 2 feet distance on your countertop and cabinet. Recessed lighting in the kitchen serves multiple functions and providing light over your counters which are directly below the cabinets is important.

This is why recessed lights are placed closer to your cabinets than they are to a wall.
