Adjustable LED downlights answer the need for flexibility in directional control of the beam spread while permitting unobtrusive visual integration in a ceiling. Ceiling areas in commercial, hospitality and residential buildings are increasingly being seen as usable surfaces that can be employed to install functional luminaires and building services. Recessed LED downlights, as opposed to flush light fixtures that substantially extend below the ceiling surface, are designed to eliminate the projection of the light fixture below the ceiling surface and provide a clean, seamless architectural appearance. In a wide range of contexts, however, a static lighting solution might not be what is best because of the ever-changing environment or the constraint on fixture orientation.
