Lighting Strategy. Lighting a living room with a pleasing glow is achieved by placing the recessed lights approximately 2 feet away from the wall for an average 8 foot ceiling. As a result, the light illuminates the ceiling and wall area for a calm mood.
My wife and I are finishing plans on a home( construction has already. started... but our lighting selections are not yet permanent ). The room in question is a family room. We have pre-wired a ceiling fan box already... We are now thinking about putting 4 recessed lights( cans I guess? We are planning to place the lights in a rectangular fashion encompassing the ceiling fan. My questions are: 1. Does the light from the recessed lamps cause any type of strobing effect, or undesirable shadows with the spinning fan blade? 2. How far out would you think the placement of the lights should be from the outer radius of the fan-blades? 3. Has anyone put both recessed lighting and a ceiling fan in a 11' or smaller ceiling??? What were the benefits/challenges? Would you do it again? Thanx... bdarian
