In short
Adjustable recessed downlights use gimbals or tilting modules to aim light at walls, artwork and displays, adding flexibility without surface fittings.
Adjustable downlights give the flexibility of track lighting without leaving the ceiling plane.
How they work
A gimbal or tilting module inside the fitting lets you aim the light. Multi-head fittings, such as Frome, combine one, two or three independent heads in one unit.
Where they work
- Galleries and artwork
- Retail displays
- Hospitality feature walls
- Receptions and logos
Tips
- Use narrow beams for strong accents
- Use high CRI for accurate colour
- Aim and lock on site at commissioning
