What Are LED Recessed Downlights?
LED recessed downlights are light fixtures installed flush with the ceiling, providing a clean, streamlined look. Unlike traditional surface-mounted lights, recessed downlights sit within a ceiling cavity, emitting light downward in a focused or diffused beam. They are widely used in residential, commercial, and industrial settings for general illumination, task lighting, and accent lighting.
