[quote=Anonymous]Consider what type of light bulbs you want to use. LED floodlights use less energy and generate less heat, but for floodlights, they only come in BR30 (I think 4"?). 6" are usually incandescent or CFL, but incandescent in our experience gets really hot. If your basement is usually cool, this is not an issue. We had 6" recessed incandescent flood lights in our kitchen and in the winter, we liked the heat lamp effect. However, I've just changed them out to 4" LEDs and they are much cooler, but look a little goofy in the 6" holes. Oh well, I'd rather save energy in the light bulbs and keeping the kitchen cool.[/quote]
