Hey guys.

doing my basement from scratch and framing is done. Now installing 4'' LED Cans. Room will be a TV room. size is 11,5' X 16' TV will be on one of the 11,5' wall and 2 place sofa on the other 11,5' wall and a 3 place sofa on a 16' wall. One thing to mention is there is a 12'' bulkhead over the 2 place sofa with is 29'' x 11,5' ...

should i go 3 rows of 2 cans 4' from the 11,5' wall and 4' betewn each can and probably 3' away from the 16' wall? that way no can in the bulk head. Last row of can would be about 18-20'' from the bulkhead... would that work or am i way off here?

What are your goals for the lighting? I had a room where I put 12 6-inch recessed lights. I measured the distance between lights and had very good coverage (goal was to allow kids to play and have even light) over about 75-80 percent of the room. I still had poor coverage on the outskirts of the room.
