opinons of recessed lights?

I am not a fan of the 'brassy' look or design of two lights mounted in the ceiling of the sofa and dinning slide.

I have been thinking of installing recessed lighting. My thought is that this should not be a difficult thing to do, but then again, I might not be aware of a potential problem.

Any thoughts on this?

Some recessed lighting is nice depending on where you place them. An easier way to expand your overhead lighting would be with track lighting which would be a lot easier to install. I took a different approach to the harsh lighting of the RV type lamps and bulb and put in more table lamps.I think we have 3 table lamps in use, to me it creates a softer and brighter ambiance.

I use table lamps for the ambiance factor too.

It's not about the lighting being "harsh" as much is I think they are just plain ugly light fixtures. If I get rid of them I have to replace them with something. The idea of recessed lights is to have the look of "nothing" up there but have light if I want it.

Do you have enough space in the ceiling of the slide to accomodate recessed lighting?

Best Regards, Ted

You need to watch out when installing recessed lighting, as to what material they come in contact with in the ceiling. Also, thre might not be enough space up there to install them, they are pretty deep. I agree that the track lighting might be the way to go.

We will not order the $1.98 Lamp and end table that comes with the 3400. We will install some small track lighting back there.We did it in the Bedroom of our TT and it is a much better light.
