Collection: 8" Recessed Lights

8" recessed lights are designed for large spaces that need high lumen output, such as commercial settings, lobbies, retail stores, and open-concept living areas. Their wide aperture provides broad, even coverage.

Not necessarily. While common in commercial spaces, 8" recessed fixtures can be effective in residential great rooms, vaulted ceilings, or areas where maximum light spread is needed.

Spacing often equals the ceiling height (in feet). For a 10 ft ceiling, place them about 10 ft apart; adjust closer if higher light levels are required or for task-oriented layouts.

Most 8" LED recessed fixtures deliver 2000–4000 lumens, making them powerful enough for general illumination in large spaces. Many models also offer field-selectable wattages and color temperatures.

Options include baffle trims to reduce glare, reflector trims for maximum brightness, wall-wash trims for vertical illumination, and wet-location trims for bathrooms or covered outdoor areas.

Yes. These fixtures must be paired with 8" housings designed for either new construction or remodel applications. Always confirm IC- and Airtight-rating requirements based on insulation and code.

Most modern LED 8" recessed fixtures are dimmable when paired with compatible dimmer switches. Check the product specifications for dimmer compatibility and range.

3000K–3500K provides warm but functional light for hospitality and residential settings, while 4000K–5000K suits commercial offices, retail, and task-heavy environments.
