I used to use the even spacing formula because I used more lights in the past. This really worked well using your method, I have 4 lights in each room and this worked amazing. Thanks for sharing and keeping it simple.

Been doing it this way for 30 years. For general lighting it perfect. Lights the entire room evenly with light. Plus today exact placement is no longer an issue with wafer lights

[ginozanga]

Watched your video and used your method and my lights came out PERFECT!!!

[peterkazmir]

How do you decide how many lights should go in each direction? Why two across and not 3? Or 1? Is there a general range of light spread that tells you how many you need?

Thanks bro I was in dark before and now you showed the right formula

[romanykemp]

Great video. For a small room I think your layout makes sense - and that's exactly my use case right now.

Great and easy formula, thanks for the new knowledge.

Thanks Matt, actually doing lights in my kitchen right now. This makes sense

You must be in the home stretch for the bedroom remodel, looking forward to the reveal. Hope you, Momma Fixer, Baby Fixer, and Koda too and all your family have a wonderful, merry Christmas 🤶 🎄.

This is a really cool method to use. I saw the video on your channel and I really enjoyed watching. I have been here since the bathroom remodel.

[scotthill]

Cool formula thanks I’m gonna try it out,
Iv used many different methods but this is super easy to remember

[illogicalferi]

I thought that video will be about the amount of light needed to fully light up a room or something :D How did you calculated that you need 4 light ? That would be more interesting i guess :D

[mastersplinter]

if you taught my High School Algebra 2 class back in the 2000's....I actually would've showed up lol.

[Murmurrr]

Not going to lie, I feel like there's an easier way. I usually just offset 18"-36" off the walls on both sides, then space things out equally. If the lights fall between 5'-6' then i'm good.

[Simphome]

wow, thanks for the formula. I'm starting to think about it seriously now

[lindacsmith]

I like your math. You've always helped me understand things I have had no clue how to do and I appreciate it. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[seascapedreaming]

It's a great formula. This will definitely help me. Thanks 😊

[Sapnek]

[gcrangel]
