Philips - Fixed Recessed Downlights (part 2)

Definition:-
"Recessed downlights are designed to maintain a good level of light in the room and draw attention to a focal feature in the space. There are four distances in which a downlight can be utilized. Width matters in each of these instances."

Beam Width:-
1) Fixed recessed downlights are available in beam angles between zero and 60'
2) They can be set very close to a wall to pick out texture.
3) Light can be used to create a pool of light on the floor.

"A downlight highlights a point of interest in the room. A downlight that is positioned directly over an object will cast strong light at the top of the object and allow for natural shadows under the object. You can opt to use this method to highlight a wall with textured tiles to expand the sense of space, light up corridors and hallways, or highlight art work and floor details. The possibilities are endless!

When highlighting a particular art piece, a single, wider beam of light should be used. If the art piece is set in a wall niche, a recessed downlight set within this niche will provide strong, reflective rays to illuminate every part of the display object.

When  highlighting textured tiles or a wall-mounted painting, opt for a row of spotlights with thin beams, set close to the wall."
