downlighter

Overhead recessed lamp

A downlighter is a light fixture designed to cast illumination downward, typically recessed into a ceiling.

Downlighters create pools of directed light rather than ambient glow, commonly used in kitchens, galleries, and retail spaces: The kitchen has six downlighters over the counter.

Also called a downlight or recessed light.
