What is Wafer Light
A wafer light, also known as a canless light, is a type of lighting fixture which is characterized by its ultra-thin design, making it ideal for recessed lighting applications. Unlike traditional fixtures, wafer lights come in a thin housing as a single unit with built-in LED lights. One notable advantage of wafer lights is their direct connection to electrical wires, eliminating the need for an electrical box during installation.

The LED lights in wafer lights have a long lifespan, typically lasting around 50,000 hours. This translates to approximately 45 years based on 3 hours of daily usage. An interesting feature of wafer lights is that the LED lights do not suddenly burn out but instead gradually dim over time. This gradual dimming ensures that the area is not left completely dark, serving as a visual indication that the lights need to be replaced.
When the LED lights in wafer lights stop working, the entire fixture needs to be replaced since the LED lights cannot be individually replaced. This means that maintenance and replacement involve replacing the entire unit. However, the installation process of wafer lights is relatively easy and can be completed within minutes. They are particularly suitable for installation in spaces with limited room and difficult access from above.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Many Recessed Lights Do I Need for a 12×12 Room
In general, a 12×12 room will require a minimum of three to a maximum of nine recessed lights to adequately light up the space.
How Deep Should the Bulb Be in a Recessed Light
Most recessed lights for residential use typically have a maximum depth of 7 ½ inches, which allows them to fit comfortably.
How Many LED Wafer Lights Per Room
A general guideline suggests using one LED wafer light for every 4 to 6 square feet of ceiling space. Following this rule ensures consistent and adequate lighting. It is crucial to remember this guideline when relying solely on recessed ceiling lights to illuminate your kitchen.
Do LED Wafer Lights Get Hot
While LEDs are known for running cooler than incandescent lights, it is important to note that their electronic components and external heat sinks can still generate significant heat. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that insulation is kept away from LED fixtures to prevent any potential overheating issues.
How Far Should Wafer Lights Be From the Wall
If you want to light up a whole wall or highlight specific architectural elements or artworks, it is generally recommended to position your wafer lights at a distance of approximately 1.5 to 3 feet from the wall. However, if your lights are fixed, it is advisable to place them slightly closer to the wall.
