About Recessed Light Calculator

Recessed Light Calculator is a free browser-based starting point for homeowners planning general lighting in one rectangular room. Set room dimensions and heights, fixture lumens, beam angle and target illuminance, then inspect a 2D recessed-light layout. Export the plan as PNG or the positions as CSV for a planning conversation. The main model uses fixed UF/LLF assumptions; the separate lumen calculator lets users explore those factors. These are preliminary planning estimates, not measured photometry, IES/CAD integration, complete electrical design or installation approval. The calculator has no AI runtime feature.

Editable planning inputs

Change room dimensions, heights, fixture output, beam angle and target illuminance to compare a preliminary estimate.

Inspect a 2D layout

Review recessed-light positions and approximate beam coverage in a rectangular-room preview.

Export the plan

Keep a PNG image or CSV coordinates for later planning; outputs are estimates rather than installation approval.
