        "text": "The number of recessed lights needed for a kitchen depends on its size, ceiling height, and the desired light levels. A general rule of thumb is to calculate the room's total wattage, aiming for 20-40 watts per square foot, or use lumens per square foot (around 30-40 lumens/sq ft for general kitchen lighting). For optimal results, Hometelligent Inc. recommends a professional lighting design consultation to consider cabinet placement, natural light sources, and specific task areas, ensuring uniform illumination without dark spots or excessive glare.",
