Recessed spotlights are directional lighting systems that produce a tight and highly concentrated beam of light for targeted illumination. Directional lighting is typically used to make illumination precise and of higher intensity than the surrounding ambient light. A recessed directional light provides an inconspicuous beam of light that appears to shine from a hole in the ceiling. The light source is regressed into the housing, thus eliminating glare that may otherwise exist in the field of view. The ability to maintain a clean ceiling appearance makes recessed spotlights an ideal choice for accent and task lighting applications where the integration of lighting and architecture matters.
