There aren't any hard and fast rules about how far recessed lights should be from the wall. It depends on your needs for the lighting. For instance, if you want to highlight a specific piece of art on the wall, you'll want to install lighting close to it. But if you want to illuminate an entire room, you might want your lighting farther from the wall.

A general guideline of one-and-a-half to three feet from the wall is a good place to start, but in the end, you want to make sure the lighting meets your unique needs.

You should hire a licensed electrician who is insured to perform any electrical work on your home, including lighting installation. States have different requirements for licensing and certifying electricians, so use Angi’s state licensing tool to review local guidelines.

• How many years of electrical experience do you have?

• Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?

• Do you work with subcontractors?

• Do you provide a guarantee or warranty on your work?

• What is the timeline for completion?

• How do you handle change orders?

• Can you provide at least three customer references?
