If your recessed lights are looking a little tired, don’t worry! With a few simple fixes, you can restore their brightness and appeal.
Restore overall lighting by turning off all other argon and fluorescent lights in the area.
Turning off all of the other lights in the area can help restore balance and brightness to your recessed lighting. This is a simple and easy step that can make a big difference. By unplugging all of the other lights, you can help to clear up any unwanted clutter and improve the overall look and feel of your recessed lighting.
Clean the lens with a mild soap and water.
Most people know that suds and water are the best way to clean any surface. But many also assume that the lens on a recessed light is just like any other surface. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. A dirty lens can cause your light to appear cloudy and less bright. Soap and water will get rid of the dirt and dust, but it is important to rinse the lens thoroughly afterwards. This will remove any residue that was left behind and ensure that the lens is permanently clean.
Purchase a new lightbulb and install it properly.
Before buying a new light bulb, it is important to make sure the wattage of the bulb you are purchasing is compatible with your fixture. Check with the manufacturer to ensure that the wattage of the bulb you are purchasing is correct for your light fixture.
When installing a new light bulb, take note of the following:
-The installation must be done by a professional.
-Make sure the new bulb is properly seated in the socket by gently pressing down on it while turning it until it clicks.
-Do not over tighten the screws, as this could damage the light fixture.
Check for any wiring problems or obstruction.
If you can’t see the wires inside the light, it’s probably a wiring obstruction. If there’s something blocking the light’s beam, it will cause the light to sag. Sometimes, a simple replacement of a wire or plug can fix a sagging recessed light. This is especially important to check if your light has been up for awhile and the cords or plugs have started to fray or become tangled.
Clean the exterior of the light with a damp cloth.
To clean the exterior of the light, first remove any obstructions or debris with a vacuum cleaner. If there are no obstructions, use a damp cloth to wipe down the light’s exterior. Be sure to clean around the light’s lens, and also around any wiring that may be obscuring its visibility. Finally, use a light cover to protect the light from dust and other debris.
Install new light covers.
When it comes to recessed lighting, nothing takes the strain and wear and tear like bright, glaring light. Installing new light covers is a simple and easy way to restore your recessed lighting to its former glory.

Check the light socket and replace if necessary.
