Recessed Can Calculator

Overview

The Recessed Can Calculator helps you determine the number of recessed lights (cans) needed to properly illuminate a room based on its dimensions and desired spacing.

How to Use

1. Room Length and Width: Enter the length and width of the room in feet.
2. Spacing Between Lights: Enter the spacing distance you prefer between each recessed light.
3. Calculate: Click the "Calculate" button to see the estimated number of lights needed.

Example Calculation

For a 20x15-foot room with a desired light spacing of 5 feet, the calculator would recommend:
\[ \text{Number of Cans} = \left(\frac{20}{5}\right) \times \left(\frac{15}{5}\right) = 4 \times 3 = 12 \text{ cans} \]

Importance

Correctly calculating recessed light placement ensures even illumination without dark spots. This calculator simplifies planning for home renovations or new constructions where lighting is critical.
