Perfect timing Jeff! Just about ready to layout lights in my kitchen prior to my installation of cabinets. Thanx Jeff!!

Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad my video came at the perfect time for you. Good luck with your kitchen project! You can setup a table 36" high where the base cabinets will be and take your measurements on the app from that point.

Glad to see you're pointing out the benefits of mounting the lights at 24" rather than 36". I appreciate what the lighting expert had to say about the wider beam of the LED light but I would think that could be compensated for by using both a higher lumen light and spacing them a bit closer together. The wafer lights are easier to install, MUCH less expensive, and easier to clean. I think wiring up two of the wafer lights to an extension cord then having two people on ladders hold the lights in different locations while I measured FC would be the way I would figure out the proper spacing for whichever lights I go with.

Yes if you can get a wafer over 1,000 lumens it might do the job

Thank you!!! Proper lighting is a game changer! We've remodeled several rooms successfully but still have rooms to go. Perfect video on a Saturday night after my kids are zzzzz. Also, Please will you look into the recent sudden collapse of the New London, Connecticut 1800s church that happened 2 or 3 days ago. I love historical buildings and I play pipe organ so to see such an outwardly beautiful building fail makes me immediately think of you and your analysis. Plus I live playing in historic churches and wonder about structural problem signs to be aware of. Thanks!

I saw that collapse that's pretty amazing. I didn't see any cracks anywhere on the steeple. When I looked on Google Maps. But it looks like it fell backwards into the roof and crashed through the left side of the building, The security camera videos from the building. A few blocks way shows it was mostly intact as it was falling

Those kind of builders who install the illumination system they really don't know what they are doing. They just want the job to be done as soon as possible. It's not only in South Florida but all over the world

Great video, thanks! 100% a MUST to do dimmers!!!!

@blurglide 6 ай бұрын

The flat lights might have a wider beam angle, but the beams are going to overlap with the adjacent light, so you'll have just as much light, and it'll be more even.

Our house had a lot of Lutron dimmers on the ceiling lights when I moved it, and they were killing the LED lights in the ceiling. Perhaps the dimmers weren't for LED lights, although the house isn't very old, but once I replaced them with on/off switches, the bulbs stopped dying.

@jeffostroff 6 ай бұрын

Yes, a lot of people still don't know that you must use LED dimmers a lot of times they can cause flick. Ram or the older incandescent dimmers will will not turn the lights all the way down when you dim them all the way down

@hardlyb 6 ай бұрын

@@jeffostroff I should have known better than to trust the people who built this house to have the right kind of dimmers installed. Thanks.

Thx for the video! When would you use the recessed ceiling lights vs the canned lights ?

@jeffostroff 6 ай бұрын

It turns out in this case the recessed lights were needed because they had 1600 lumens which was able to put down 100 foot candles on the counter. The disk lights cannot put that much on the counter so I use them in the field of the kitchen where it is not pointing down onto the counters.

@ZER0o10 6 ай бұрын

@jeffostroff thanks! I might need those too because my ceiling is sloped. I saw those are adjustable. Thanks for the detailed video.

@watuzi 6 ай бұрын

Thanks Jeff, that was a lot of info to digest. I used the app you suggested to check the lights in my kitchen and I'm only getting around 30 FC's. If I upgrade my lights to a higher lumens, can I just replace the actual 6" led lights and use the old can? Or do I replace the whole assembly. Thanks man

@jeffostroff 6 ай бұрын

You can by retorfit kits at Home Depot where the LED is a surface light and it is wired to an adapter that screws into the old light bulb. You can do it hat way or try a bright LED wafer light, and removed the old can, and see if the light will fit into that old hole. I would buy a light first, wire it to an extension cord, hand it over the counter on the ceiling and measure it to make sure you can get past 50 f.c.

I totally agree! Builder's grade lighting is the worst. It's time to upgrade and bring some brightness into our lives!

1,600 lumens? Sorry; 5,000 lumens at 6,000 Kelvin would be exponentially better. Edit: And 6 lights, plus 1 angled recessed can? I'm sorry. But the quantity should've been tripled, to 21 recessed cans in total.

@jeffostroff 6 ай бұрын

What are you basing your analysis on? Sorry, but I proved already my design already worked I showed that 1600 lumens were already sufficient, and it put the required amount of foot candles on the counters. No need to spend more money and buy more lights when they are not needed. The family I installed these for already uses the LED dimmer because the lights are so bright now.

@davidbenji1 6 ай бұрын

21?!? Are you kidding?!? That's not NEARLY enough. You need at MINIMUM triple that with triple the lumens. 63 lights at no less than 15,000 lumens each. Do some research.

@mynintendogamingfeed5208 6 ай бұрын

@@jeffostroff Hi Jeff; the analysis is extreme quantity and quality. For thr quality side, the lights are bright, but 1,600 lumens is a good representation of "typical" high brightness, whereas 5,000 lumens would be far more sufficient, and the color temperature could be much brighter, at 6,000 Kelvin (for Daylight White). In the quantity side of the analysis, 7 recessed cans was good, but the number of recessed could've been doubled, or tripled; also, the spacing (3.0 feet) was a touch on the far side; 2.5 feet of spacing might help. Otherwise, a very good video.
