# Recessed Light Calculator > A free browser-based tool for estimating recessed light count, spacing, and placement for one rectangular indoor room. The calculator uses a simplified lumen method and an approximate beam model. Its results are planning estimates, not measured photometry, an IES simulation, electrical advice, or installation approval. ## Main - [Recessed Lighting Calculator](https://canlightcalculator.com/): Interactive calculator plus guidance on light count, layout, spacing, placement, and common questions. - [Method, assumptions, and sources](https://canlightcalculator.com/about/): Calculation method, fixed assumptions, target-light references, fixture data sources, and limitations. ## Optional - [Contact](https://canlightcalculator.com/contact/): How to report a problem or suggest a source correction. - [Privacy](https://canlightcalculator.com/privacy/): Browser-side processing, exports, hosting logs, and current tracking practices. - [Disclaimer](https://canlightcalculator.com/disclaimer/): Scope, modelling limits, product-data caveats, and installation boundaries.
