I recently went through the same situation while painting my kitchen and living room. I was scared if I painted upon the recessed lights by mistake. So, I did thorough research on how to paint around recessed lights and found that it's really easy by using a frog tape, wire clips, putty knife, etc. I have shared the entire tips I came across below.
Steps to Paint around Recessed Lights
Here’s what I followed and worked for me to paint around recessed lights without paint getting upon them:
First, I made sure the trim around each light was clean. I used FrogTape for sealing the corners and it's amazing. I pressed the tape with a damp cloth for a tight seal.
I found another way but that needs a bit more work. I could pull the trim ring down which is held up by wire clips. I tried this trick earlier once.
I used a putty knife to take the trim a bit down without fully removing it. That gave a space to paint below the recessed lights that made it look so perfect.
I also found that using a good quality, angled brush (I went with the Wooster Shortcut) made cutting around the lights much easier and more precise.
Ultimately, the combination of good tape, careful brushwork, and keeping a wet edge gave me a clean, professional finish around recessed lights. I hope you found this answer helpful.
