Adjustable Trim Led Downlight AW10460

Recessed led downlights makes a room feel bigger because it actually takes up less visual space in the room. Because the light cans are set into the ceiling itself, nothing hangs down to interrupt the visual space of the ceiling.

Recessed led downlights also makes a room look bigger due to an effect called “wall washing”. Wall washing is a lighting effect that casts more light around the room via use of the right kind of trim (the part of the light that is visible from the hole in the ceiling). Wall washed trim involves a directional reflector and a light scoop that directs light onto the wall. If you have a sloped ceiling, an “eyeball trim” can be used.

To really take advantage of the wall washing effect, recessed led downlights need to be spaced correctly away from the wall and apart from each other. Recessed led downlights should be spaced apart from each other at the same distance they are spaced away from the wall. For example, if you your ceiling is 9 feet high, we place the recessed light fixtures 2-3 feet away from the wall and from each other. The higher the ceiling, the higher that spacing will need to be. Then aim the lightings toward the wall with the directional reflectors and it will literally wash the wall with overlapping, ambient light. The recessed led downlights makes the room feel bigger and brighter.
