Can you place Recessed Lighting in Duct Work?
In General, can you place recessed lighting in duct work? I have a Very Small hall with a Light that sticks Down From the Ceiling and hits my boyfriends Head (he is Tall). The Home was probably built around 1950. There is ductwork directly above it, but I think it's an Air Return, although it might be for the Heat, too (just moved in and know nothing on Hvac). The air conditioning comes in through Floor vents. I want to know if it might be possible to have a recessed light. I just didn't want to Reach an Electrician or Pay for One to Come Out to find out it's Not even in the realm of a possibility. Thank you so much!
You need to know which Way Your ceiling joists go, (vertically or horizontally) and where the duct work is placed. You can put recessed Lights in between the joists where there is no duct work. It is done All the Time.
Your duct work Only takes up so much space between the joists. You will not be placing the lighting where the duct work is obviously. Can you get into your Attic and view where the duct work Runs? You can then Measure your spacing. Your hallway may be too Narrow if your duct work takes the entire space. But do not go into a space designated for the duct work for your ac. You need to find out where they run and if the space between the next Set of joists will allow Installation of the Cans.
I do think you should get a qualified electrician. You do not want to fool around with a Diy. If you do a Little checking, you can get an idea of what can be placed, but do not do it yourself.
You can also consider putting Wall sconces to illuminate the hallway and maybe place some artwork.
