Our team can guide you through a wide variety of lighting styles to help you find the ideal match for your home, ensuring both your aesthetic and practical needs are met seamlessly.

What is Recessed Lighting?

If you've ever been confused by terms like "recessed lights" and "ceiling lights" while browsing a lighting store, you're not alone. Let’s clear up the difference between them.

Recessed lighting, also called can lights, is installed directly into the ceiling, sitting flush with the surface. The fixture, typically housed in a metal casing between 7.5cm to 15cm in diameter, is discreetly hidden, giving the room a clean, open feel.

On the other hand, ceiling lights are mounted on or hang down from the ceiling. This category includes a wide range of styles such as pendant lights, chandeliers, and track lighting.

While ceiling lights are often used as statement pieces to stand out in a room, recessed lighting is designed to blend seamlessly with the existing décor. It enhances the room’s functionality without being the focal point, allowing for a more subtle, modern lighting solution.

Types of Recessed Lighting We Install

At Upside Down, we offer a wide range of recessed lighting options to suit your home’s unique style and needs. Whether you're looking to create a modern ambiance or highlight specific areas, we've got you covered with expert installation.

Here are some popular types of recessed lighting we can install for you:

  • Ambient lighting: Perfect for general illumination, ambient recessed lights provide even, soft lighting across a room, giving it a warm and welcoming feel.
  • Task lighting: Ideal for focused activities like reading or cooking, task lighting is designed to illuminate specific areas, making everyday tasks easier.
  • Accent lighting: If you want to highlight artwork, architectural features, or any other focal points, accent lighting is a great way to make them stand out.
  • Wall wash lighting: This type of recessed lighting is used to brighten up a large wall or create the illusion of more space in a room.

No matter your vision, Upside Down can help you find the perfect recessed lighting for your home.

Why Recessed Lighting Will Suit Your Living Areas

Recessed ceiling lights are a great lighting option, but they may not be the best fit for every room. While they work wonders in certain spaces, there are times when other lighting options might be more suitable. Knowing where to install recessed lighting and when to explore alternatives can make a big difference in your home’s overall lighting plan.

Recessed lights are ideal for smaller rooms with lower ceilings. Since they don’t hang down, they provide effective illumination without taking up visual space, making the room feel more open. They’re also perfect for highlighting specific features like artwork or task areas such as desks or countertops.

However, in larger rooms with higher ceilings, recessed lighting may require several fixtures to provide enough light, which can become less efficient. In such cases, other lighting solutions, like pendant or track lights, may offer better coverage and visual impact.

FAQ − Your Recessed Lighting Questions Answered

Do you have any questions about recessed lighting installation? The most commonly asked questions are answered below.

Recessed lighting, also known as downlights, is installed directly into the ceiling for a clean, minimalist look while providing practical illumination. These lights come in various types, including LED, CFL, halogen, and fluorescent bulbs. Each light is housed in a metal casing, typically between three to six inches in diameter, which is fitted into the ceiling. The only visible part is the light trim around the edge, giving the room a sleek appearance.

No, definitely not. In fact, recessed lighting has grown in popularity as a modern lighting choice for many homeowners. The difference lies in how it’s used. Unlike traditional ceiling lights that flood the entire room, recessed lights are ideal for highlighting specific areas or features, like artwork or task spaces. While they can provide focused lighting for smaller areas, you may still want ceiling lights for larger spaces like a bedroom.

Proper placement is key to getting the most from your recessed lights. If spaced too far apart, you’ll get dark spots; too close, and the room may feel overly bright. Consulting with a professional electrician, like those at Upside Down, ensures the perfect placement to achieve balanced lighting throughout your space.
