downlights
Flush ceiling fixtures
Downlights are recessed ceiling fixtures that direct light downward.
They sit flush with or above the ceiling surface, creating a clean, unobtrusive look: We installed downlights throughout the kitchen.
The term distinguishes them from fixtures that cast light upward or outward.
Also called recessed lights or can lights.
