Lighting for Tall CeilingsBYHYU 190
As I was going over the lighting plan for my new house, I wondered if there were different rules for lighting rooms with tall ceilings as opposed to standard 8 foot ceilings.\xa0 Is ok to use the same type and average number of recessed lights throughout your house, no matter a room\u2019s function or ceiling height?\xa0 Does a 2 story foyer or rooms with vaulted ceilings need special lighting considerations?\xa0
Worse than not installing enough canned lights and lighting fixtures is wasting money by having an appropriate number of fixtures, but fixtures that don\u2019t put out adequate light in specific situations, like rooms with tall ceilings.\xa0 So I did some research about how to light rooms with tall ceilings, which many of us will have in our new builds. The information was much harder to find than I anticipated.\xa0 But, after days for searching lighting design, electrician, lighting manufacturer, and retail lighting websites, I came up with a few tips for some basic guidelines for lighting rooms with ceiling greater than the standard 8 feet.
