recessed lighting

Flush-mounted ceiling fixtures

Recessed lighting refers to light fixtures installed into a ceiling or wall so that the fixture sits flush with or above the surface, hiding the housing from view.

The visible portion is typically just a trim ring and the light source itself, creating a clean, unobtrusive look.

Also called can lights or downlights, recessed lighting is popular in modern homes and commercial spaces for general illumination or to spotlight specific areas.

We installed recessed lighting in the kitchen to avoid a cluttered look.
