Collection: Gimbal Recessed Lights & Adjustable

Gimbal recessed lighting is a type of adjustable recessed lighting where the lamp head pivots and swivels within the trim, allowing you to aim the beam of light. Unlike fixed downlights, this directional control makes gimbal lights the ultimate tool for creating focused task lighting, dramatic accent lighting, and solving problems like sloped ceiling recessed lighting.

Precision Control for Accent & Task Lighting

The key feature of a gimbal recessed light is its adjustability. The fixture can typically tilt up to 40 degrees and often rotate 360 degrees. This gives you complete control to direct light exactly where you need it, even after installation. Use a recessed adjustable downlight to:

• Highlight Artwork: Cast a sharp, focused beam directly onto paintings, photos, or sculptures.
• Create Wall Washes: Aim the light at a textured wall (like brick or stone) to graze the surface and create dramatic shadows.
• Add Task Lighting: Direct light over a kitchen island, reading nook, or workspace from a distance.

The Solution for Sloped & Vaulted Ceilings

Standard recessed lights installed in an angled ceiling will shine at an angle, hitting the wall instead of the floor. Gimbal recessed lighting solves this. By tilting the internal lamp, you can counteract the ceiling's angle and direct the light straight down, properly illuminating the living space below. This makes them the best choice for any vaulted or sloped ceiling recessed lighting plan.
