Thought this would get more views in this forum, plus it's remodel-related anyway.
Have a house built in the 1950s and want to put recessed lighting in the foyer. The entryway is 10' x 10' with a 20' x 5' center hall leading to the rear of the house. I think I want 4 small diameter (4" ?) recessed lights in the entry, and in the hallway one can every 6 feet or so. Does this sound OK? Wattage would be 60W each or less incandescent. Would like to do warm fluorescent but I haven't found dimmable fluor. bulbs.
Any rules/tips on how many cans I should put in? At the present moment there is a hanging pendant in the center of the entry ceiling. I will keep it. So I will have the pendant on one circuit, and all the recessed lights on another, probably on a dimmer. That will let me have a few options on lighting scene.
Thanks for any advice.
