For example, if the ceiling height is 8 feet, then the distance between cans should be 6 feet to 7 feet, 6 inches apart. According to the Lighting Research Center, the recessed lighting unitâs design, distance from the wall and spacing will affect the lightingâs effect on the room.
Where to Place Recessed Lighting Fixtures. 1  Avoid recessed lighting fixtures placed too close together or in rows down the center of the room. This type of installation can have the look of an airport runway. 2  Match the size of your recessed lighting fixtures to how close together they can be installed. The common rule is that 4-inch fixtures should generally be placed at least 4 feet apart and 6-inch fixtures about 6 feet apart. Center recessed lighting fixtures in front of the objects you wish to light - a painting, bookshelf, or drapery panels, for example - and about 12 to 18 inches in front of that object. Recessed lights used for reading or task lighting should be carefully placed overhead so your head and shoulders will not block needed light.
