Question for the many here who know a heck of a lot more than I do:
We have a large screen porch where for years the only real lighting has been from a fan light combo that is woefully insufficient and ugly as hell. One of the many Corona projects Mrs. G has found for me is to do something about the situation. The original plan was to remove the light kit from the fan and hang two large pendant type fixtures on either side of the fan. I am now thinking that instead, I'd like to put up some recessed lighting as I think it would look a lot better. (BTW - Mrs. G., aka "She who must be obeyed," has chopped off on this change order.) I plan on raising up the fan a foot or so, to hopefully avoid any strobe effect. As I was looking at various types of recessed lights, I was wondering if I need wet location rated lights? Being a porch it can be a damp location, but the lights would never have water hitting them directly. Any thoughts? (Personally, while it I think it will look better, I am not looking forward to cutting more holes in the wainscotted ceiling - the two 4" holes I cut so far were a pain in the %#&. FTR - I hate ladders. I was also disappointed to see my Klein Hole Cutter was made in China.)
