A common guideline is to space them equal to the ceiling height (in feet). For an 8 ft ceiling, place fixtures about 8 ft apart; adjust closer for tasks or higher ceilings.

Most LED 6" recessed fixtures deliver 900–1500 lumens. For kitchens or work areas, aim toward the higher range; for living rooms, lower lumen models with dimming offer flexibility.

Popular trim styles include baffle (reduces glare), reflector (boosts brightness), adjustable gimbal/eyeball (aimable), wall-wash (even vertical illumination), and wet-rated shower trims.

Most 6" LED recessed lights are dimmable when paired with compatible dimmer switches. Check manufacturer specs for supported dimmers and ranges.
