downlighters

Recessed ceiling lamps

Downlighters are light fixtures that direct illumination downward, typically recessed into ceilings.

They provide focused, unobtrusive lighting for kitchens, hallways, or display areas: We installed downlighters throughout the kitchen.

Also called downlights or recessed lights.

The term is more common in British than American English.
