Depending on the installation method and type of bulbs you choose, you may also have to deal with minor inconveniences like visible cords or bulbs that generate heat.</p></div>

Q: How do I install recessed lighting?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/diy-recessed-lighting-installation-cost-install.htm">Installing recessed lights</a> requires you to cut holes in the ceiling, create an electrical wiring connection, install the fixture, and connect it to your service panel. It should only be done by those with electrical skills, due to the safety concerns it presents. </p><p>If you feel uneasy about taking it on yourself, it&rsquo;s recommended to contact a local technician to complete the installation for you.</p></div>

Q: Can I install my own outdoor lighting?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s technically possible to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-you-should-install-outdoor-lighting.htm">install your own outdoor lighting</a>, but we only recommend it for wireless set-ups, which won&rsquo;t last as long as wired outdoor lights. Installing wired lighting around your property requires help from a professional electrician, especially since improper installation can increase the risk of fire. You may need a licensed professional to pull an electrical permit for you and sign off on the work. We suggest leaving the work to an expert to ensure good design, maximum security for your home, and the best quality work possible that will last for decades.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between track and rail lighting?

• <div><p>Track lighting features multiple light fixtures attached to a linear track, allowing adjustable positioning and easy addition or removal of lights. It offers flexibility and is ideal for highlighting specific areas or objects. Rail lighting, a subtype of track lighting, utilizes a curved or flexible rail instead of a straight track. This design allows for more versatile light placement. </p></div>

Q: How are under-cabinet lights attached?

• <div><p>Under-cabinet lights are typically affixed to mounts that are drilled into the cabinet using screws. Cable staples are used to secure the cords in place. Alternatively, tape lights can be attached directly to the underside of the cabinet using adhesive. These installation methods provide secure and versatile&mdash;and potentially removable&mdash;options for illuminating your kitchen space.</p></div>
