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.
Recessed lighting near ceiling fan..... Short explanation: we are doing a complete remodel of my grandmothers kitchen. She currently has one ceiling fan (which must stay per her) with a 3 bulb fixture on it. We are talking about taking that one fixture off the fan and putting in 4 can lights. The fan is a ceiling hugger (blades about 6 from the ceiling). Now how far away from the blade diameter is reasonable to install the can lights? I know you dont want to be above the blades because of the weird flashing light effect. But how close would you put them?
