I am updating a new home and have received several opinions about 4", 5" and 6" recessed lights. We need lots of light, but want the home to look updated. Any thoughts?

Lightolier Lights - 1045 <br>Recess Trim - 5lighting-design.com/store/images/LOL_1045.jpg" border=0 Deep Alzak?>I favor using the 6" LIGHTOLIER RECESSED LIGHT as a general light source for the room.  That way you can use 120-watt incandescent lamps in conjunction with a LUTRON DIMMER CONTROL for soft or bright lighting. 

For smaller rooms, you may want to go with a 5" LIGHTOLIER LIGHT to fit the scale of the room.  They are rated for up to 85-watts.  Then use smaller adjustable LOW VOLTAGE RECESSED LIGHTS for accent lighting such things as painting, sculptures or tables. 

And finally, you might want to hang a DECORATIVE CHANDELIER or CEILING FAN in the center of the room.
