Begin by carefully planning the layout for the recessed lights on the ceiling. Use a laser level to project a straight line and a tape measure to ensure all light placements are accurately and evenly spaced. Mark these precise locations on the ceiling with a marker or pencil.

Goal: Determine and mark the precise locations for each recessed light

Tools and materials

  • Laser Level — Projecting straight lines on the ceiling for accurate light placement
  • Marker — Marking the ceiling where the lights will be installed
  • Tape Measure — Measuring distances to ensure even spacing between lights and from walls

What they say

I installed six recess lights in this home for $2,000. This took me about 4 hours to complete. As an electrician, you pay for my 5 years of experience and special tools, not for the time spent. >> 83 So, the first thing I do is I use my tape measure and laser combo to mark where the lights are going. I got to make sure the distances are even and accurate and use mathematics cuz once these holes are punched, they're punched like a boxer, no cap. My bro can't have to use a multi-tool to make some sheet rock cuts since we were on the first floor living room of a two-floor home.
