What is a Recessed Can?

A recessed can, also known as a can light or pot light, is a type of lighting fixture that is installed into a hollow opening in a ceiling. When installed, it appears to have light shining from a hole in the ceiling, concentrating the light in a downward direction as a broad floodlight or narrow spotlight. It is a preferred choice for many due to its sleek, clean look and its ability to blend with the ceiling.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ RC = \left( \frac{400}{20} \right) \times 30 = 600 \]

The Number of Recessed Cans Needed is 600.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ RC = \left( \frac{300}{15} \right) \times 25 = 500 \]

The Number of Recessed Cans Needed is 500.
