Recessed fluorescent lighting is typically used in areas where indirect light is preferred to reduce glare and other visual disturbances common with the use of fluorescent lighting. This includes offices, classrooms and more recently, home office and workspaces. Fluorescent lights are highly efficient and cost significantly less to operate than traditional incandescent lights. The problem, as mentioned already, is that the use of fluorescents leads to unpleasant effects for some applications.

This is why the use of recessed fluorescent lighting has become very popular. With recessed fluorescent lighting, the lighting is indirect. This is an effective way to reduce glare and make the lighting more effective. There are baffles and reflectors that you can install to reduce direct light from recessed fluorescent fixtures as well.

When considering recessed fluorescent lighting, you will find that there are many different options for the type and size of fixtures. There are also many different styles of covers available for recessed fixtures. The most commonly used recessed fluorescent fixture is called a troffer and it allows assess through a hinged assembly for easy access.

Some recessed fluorescent fixtures can be set up with a battery backup for use in an emergency. Keep in mind that this will result in less output from the light, but ample for safety reasons in the event of a power outage.

When you need specific lighting, such as in an office setting, you should talk to a lighting professional in order to find out what the best possible combination of lighting will be for your situation. Depending on the size of the area, the amount of natural light and how many people will use the area, the lighting requirements will vary. A lighting designer is your best advocate when it comes to saving money and increasing efficiency with lighting design.

If possible, your recessed fluorescent fixtures should be installed and fully tested prior to the rest of the room being finished. It is probably a good idea to have the walls painted and furniture in place in order to see how everything will flow together with the new lighting.
