    (1) Be careful not to place recessed lighting fixtures too close together or in rows down the center of the room.
     
    (2) An easy rule to remember is to proportionately match the size of your recessed lighting fixture to the distance of how far apart they are. For instance a 4-inch fixture should be placed 4 feet apart & 6-inch fixtures should be 6 feet apart from one another.
     
    (3) Center recessed lighting fixtures in front of objects that need light. Generally the light should be 12 to 18 inches in front of the object.
     
    (4) If the lights are used for tasks, then make sure that they are carefully placed overhead so that they do not block needed light.
     
    (5) When lighting three dimensional objects, it is most effective to light them from two or three different angles.
     
    (6) A neat trick to help make a space feel larger is to use wall washing recessed lighting fixtures. These help give the appearance that the walls are being pushed outwards.
