Why Use Recessed Lights?

FT NEWS

Recessed lights, also referred to as downlights, pot lights or canister lights, are light fixtures that are installed into hollow openings in the ceiling, wall, staircase and so on. They are a great addition to homes, and can make a room feel bigger, with more depth, highlighting dark corners and awkward spots. Here are some ways to use recessed lights in your home.

This is often attained through a lighting technique called ‘wall grazing’ that helps larger surfaces like walls become the eye-catcher of the area, by highlighting their texture.
