American Lighting Warm Dim Series

Down lighting is using a light fixture that goes into the ceiling to provide downward illumination. They are great to use because they highlight a specific area while also creating zones below. Down lights come with traditional or LED options. They also have different fitting options. These include:

• Trim – A ring or collar that surrounds the downlight.
• Trimless – The downlight is not surrounded by the downlight and instead is flush with the ceiling.
• True Trimless - Helps to recess the light into the ceiling. Removes the visible space between the downlight and the space.

The three main beam angles for down lights are:

• Narrow beam angles: Ranges from 15 to 30 degrees and work well in kitchens and other living areas.
• Medium beam angles: Ranges from 30 to 60 degrees and works well in small hallways and entryways. 40- and 60-degree downlights are the most popular choice on the market.
• Wide beam angles: Ranges from 60 to 90 degrees and works well for family rooms and large environments.
• Very wide beam angles: Range from 90 to 120+ degrees and are best used in large-scale corridors, museums, halls and display rooms that require uniform lighting.
