A bathroom downlight is no different from recessed luminaires installed in other locations except for that it is often sealed to protect its sensitive components against condensation, humidity, and sprays of water. Recessed downlights are a common addition to rooms that have modest ceiling heights or where an inconspicuous aesthetic of overhead lighting is of paramount importance. As opposed to other types of ceiling light fixtures that substantially extend below the ceiling surface, recessed downlights are designed to be minimally visible from below a ceiling and consume no vertical spaces within the field of view. They not only provide a cleaner look when installed, the light that appears to shine from a hole in the ceiling is more visually comforting.
