Recessed lighting refers to light fixtures that are installed into a ceiling, creating a clean and streamlined look. These fixtures are often used to provide ambient lighting in various spaces, such as living rooms, kitchens, and hallways. They can be adjusted to direct light where it is needed, making them versatile for different lighting needs. Typically, recessed lights consist of a housing that is mounted above the ceiling and a trim that is visible from below. They come in various sizes, shapes, and styles, allowing homeowners to choose options that best fit their decor and lighting requirements.
