The key difference between recessed lights and downlights lies in their installation and direction of light. Recessed lights are embedded into the ceiling, offering a clean, flush appearance and often used for ambient or general lighting. Downlights, on the other hand, are typically designed to direct light downward, often used to highlight specific areas or features. Both can be used in a variety of settings, but their light distribution and installation method set them apart.
