A deep recessed downlight is a lighting fixture designed to be installed within a ceiling, where the light source is positioned deeper inside the housing. This design minimizes glare and creates a focused, uniform light distribution, making it ideal for residential, commercial, and hospitality applications.
2. Key Specifications
