DOWN/POT LIGHTS

A downlight (pot light) shines in a downward direction.

These fixtures are usually recessed into the ceiling exposing only a small part of the fitting below the ceiling.

Ceiling Height

The higher the ceiling, the further the light source is from the surface you need to illuminate. When using a downlight with a narrower beam angle such as the LED gimbal (40°) downlight, the intensity of the light that hits the floor is greater than if you use a fixed downlight with a wide beam angle (120°). With a wide beam angle, light is dispersed into the air, leaving the surface area darker.

The gimbal downlight has a narrow beam, allowing the light to be concentrated onto a surface area.

The fixed downlight with a wider beam angle is typically used for general lighting.
