Lighting Installation FAQs
What are the different types of recessed lights?
Recessed lights are great for low ceiling rooms because they are flush with the ceiling. They are sometimes called can lights or downlights. There are four main types of recessed lights – shower, wall wash, eyeball, and baffle. While baffle trim is the most commonly used, it doesn’t allow for movement. Whereas with eyeball trim you can focus the light where you need it. Wall wash trim comes with a shield over half of the light so you can even position the light on a specific feature in a room. Shower trim naturally goes in the shower as it has tempered glasses and is wet-rated.
