We are building a new house, and want to install soffit recessed lights. We are going to use 4" housings, and want to know what spacing we should use. Any help would be most appreciated.

Installing soffit lighting is a great way to show off the architectural details of your new home and well as provide security lighting.  Spacing should be dictated by the features of the house you want to highlight or symetrically for balance from the street view.  For example, centered on windows, arches, doorways, and entrance.  You should decide fairly quickly as to your design, so the carpenters can layout the roof rafters to accomodate your lighting.

We have some very small RECESSED LIGHTS that are perfect for soffit lighting.  Have your electrician install a REMOTE DIMMER CONTROL in a closet or attic as well as a photocell outside to automatically switch the lighting.
