1) Make sure to make a lighting plan.
It is always tempting to dive into a project and just go, go, go; however, making a comprehensive lighting plan at the beginning will help guide you and make it easier as you get more into your pot light installation. Make a scale drawing with measurements of the room you are adding pot lights to and make sure to include the furniture and wall décor. This is an important step to help you decide what you want to accomplish with the light installation. For example, are you adding accent lighting for a beautiful wall mount? Or general lighting to improve your work or hobby area?
2) Choosing your lighting fixtures.
Light fixtures are an important step in pot light installation. Choosing different light fixtures, lamps and light housings can be a fun and exciting process. Especially, as it starts to come together. Pot lights come in various shapes and along with choosing the pot lights, you will want to think about adding lamps if it is part of you lighting plan. The light fixtures will change the lighting effect in the room. Therefore, it is important to choose wisely. For pot lights and other lighting fixtures, there are several ways to make those choices. You could seek out a knowledgeable lighting salesperson to guide your choices. Or, if you feel comfortable, purchase them from home center, although this may limit your choices.
Focusing on these key steps: the lighting plan and fixture choice, prior to the actual, technical installation, can help create the interior lighting design of your dreams. The technical aspects of pot light installation should be well researched before making the jump into pot light installation.
