Recessed lighting has become a fashionable choice in recent years as it complements any room decor and saves space. It can provide a concentrated down beam to highlight focal points, serve as accent lighting or provide wall washing lighting effects. In kitchens, 3-inch recessed can lights are particularly popular because they can make counters shine and sparkle while providing adequate task lighting when cooking. 3-inch recessed can lights are composed of housing (aka "rough-in") and trim (aka "finishing") and are rated for insulation contact (IC) or non-IC use. They've become a popular choice for a number of applications including built-in cabinet lighting or to highlight architectural features such as columns, arches and crown molding. It provides subtle lighting that complements and enhances interior design aesthetics. BuildersLighting.com carries a variety of 3-inch recessed can light fixtures finished in a range of tones, many rated for use in wet/damp locations such as shower rooms or outdoors. Choose from lighting platforms such as LEDs, incandescent and compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) and both line voltage and low voltage fixtures are available.
