OK I am a Industrial and Telecom train driver, not a lighting designer or residential sparky, so hold the jokes. :lol:
Anyway doing a major kitchen, dinning room, living area remodel. Open concept. I want to use recessed lighting in the ceilings. What I am struggling with is spacing, and can size for appropriate location like kitchen. I am reading a whole lot of conflicting advice. Do not want LED or MRI or any type of low voltage. So what I am asking for is can size, light type, and spacing for Kitchen, dinning and living area. No accent or task lighting, using track for that.
Something along the lines for example:
Kitchen:
Over edge of counter tops, 6 inch cans, every 5 feet, using Halogen watts?.
Dining and Living:
3 feet off walls, every 8 feet, using Halogen watts?
Am I on the right road?
FWIW
I am open to CFLand Halogen ect.. Just do not want the expense of low voltage.
