Is there a difference between downlighting, can lighting, pot lighting, and recessed lighting?
Down lighting is a lighting technique that uses light fixtures to direct light downward to illuminate an area below the lights. Recessed lights, also known as down lights, are fixtures used for downlighting purposes and installed into an opening in the ceiling or wall. Can lights, or pot lights, are a type of recessed fixture. A can light, or pot light, is a fixture that is cylindrical, similar to a pot or canister, and fits in a hole in the ceiling that is circular.
