Editor's Notes

January 09, 2019:

When choosing recessed lighting, it's important to select the proper size and color temperature for the room in question, so we included options that would suit varying needs. Many are IC rated, airtight and safe for damp location use. They're also capable of being retrofitted or installed during new construction. After that, we weighed pricing, durability, and ease of assembly.

After arriving in Los Angeles a decade ago, she quickly nabbed a copywriting job at a major clothing company and derived years of editing and proofreading experience from her tenure there, all while sharpening her skills further with myriad freelance projects.

The result of these pursuits is expertise in fashion, travel, beauty, literature, textbooks, and pop culture, in addition to whatever obsession consumes her next.
