Spacing celing cans

brighton
13 years ago

I've got a 15x18 family room with a brick fireplace that covers 36 ins x 108ins starting in one of the corners and going down the 18ft side.

I'm want to replace the floor lamps (uplighters) with cans. But how do I figure out the correct size for the can and watts as well as the spacing between each can?

TIA
