There are many benefits of recessed light, including:
You can create a modern, unobtrusive aesthetic that can instantly upgrade your home's vibe.
Recessed lighting adds the perfect touch to an accent wall where you want to highlight art.
You can also save money and reduce your energy consumption with efficient LEDs.
But keep in mind that recessed lighting can emit a fair amount of heat. This can be dangerous if your lights are in direct contact with your insulation. You may need to choose insulation-contact-rated fixtures to prevent this, which can be more expensive.
Recessed lights also aren't a great choice if you see yourself wanting to adjust the room's lighting in the future. You can't easily swap them out for a different kind of light like you can with a traditional ceiling light.
