Believe or not it's about 100 LED recessed can lights.  The standard can lights that is included (about 50 lights) comes in that ugly flourescent tube type bulb.  The other 50 can can lights would be to put in for other rooms (e.g. each of the rooms, great room, dining room etc). 

Thanks everyone for your feedback.  It was very helpful.  On another note....how do you guys feel about getting LED recessed can lights from the builder?  The cost is $10k for the whole house to look like the model, but I got an estimate for $6K from a licensed contractor.  Is it better to...

Will having my router in the comm closet give me good Wifi reception throughout the house?  I guess i might need Wifi extenders if there are dead spots.

So router and modem will need to be in the communications closet/area with the ethernet cables plugged into them and then i can just connect an ethernet cable to the Cat5 jack and to my TV or Laptop and have a wired connection.  Correct?

I need a router that is hooked up to the cable modem (or a combo modem/router)??  I'm confused.  I have a router and modem hooked up now that gives me internet access and Wifi.  Are you saying i need another modem/router set up at each of the other Cat5 ports in order to get a wired internet...

No, Cat6 was not mentioned as a option.  So if I understand this correctly.. if I have these Cat5 ports I can just connect an ethernet cable to my laptop or TV to the Cat5 plug in the wall and I will have strong wired internet connection.  Did I describe that correctly?

Sounds like getting the extra CAT 5 ports will "future" proof my house especially with all these new UHD/4K streaming coming out.

The builder told me that if I stream HD movies or potentially UHD in the future having these extra CAT 5e plugs would be a huge plus.  My question is do smart TV's have Ethernet ports/connections?  I thought they only had HDMI cable connections.  I know that laptops have Ethernet ports. 

If I primarily only use Wifi to connect to the internet is the extra CAT 5e necessary?

I'm not that tech savvy....can someone explain to me what a CAT 5E plug is?  Do i need one wherever a TV is placed in the house?  One comes with the home but any extra cost $$.  Thanks. 

Looking at my past bill, it looks like we use about 500 to 600 Kw hours/month.  The included solar package from KB is a 1.5kw solar panel package. 

I'm buying a KB Home Palo Alto Plan 3 and was wondering if I needed to upgrade the solar power package to a higher level to really save on electricity cost.  I previously lived in a comparable 3,400 sf home and usually had monthly electric bills around $250/month and about $350/month during the...

USCTrojan, what is the average selling PSF in Irvine currently and what do you think it will be once all of the Villages of Irvine communities are built out?  Thanks. 

Akio, what street is your home on? 

Thanks.  I was hoping you might have put Stonegate on the list as it has only one smaller affordable apt complex in the entire village. 

YellowFever, Where would you buy in Irvine? Any suggestions?

I am thinking buying in OH, but I am afraid of all the coyotes and wild life that must be there in the woods.  Anyone heard or experience this?

If you don't mind me asking.....how much was your CFD and Mello Roos? 

Yes, 4.0 from this high school would mean entry into UCLA or Berkeley taking A-G courses. 

the potential problem with high performing IUSD is that it is very hard to get A's.  Whereas lower performing schools it is much easier to get A's.  so kids from lower performing high schools that get 4.0's get into all the good colleges.  So YES IUSD schools do backfire.  College admissions...
