<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: A Recessed Light Fixture May Be Best
A recessed light fixture can be stylish and attractive, but only if used carefully. Make sure the actual light bulb is covered. You may need to consider directional lighting to light your entire closet. This option may also be more expensive than other lighting fixtures.
On the Other: There Are Less Expensive Lighting Choices
A series of lower powered lights may provide better lighting to all areas of a large closet than a single higher powered light. Skylights may be an attractive option for some closets, but excess sunlight could fade clothes over time.
Bottom Line
Be aware that building codes may limit your selection of light fixtures for a walk-in closet due to fire hazards. An exposed incandescent bulb produces a lot of heat and is never safe in a closet.
