Recessed Lighting FAQ What is recessed lighting? Recessed lighting refers to fixtures that are set into ceilings or walls. Commonly called cans because of their shape, they include the housing (the internal part in the ceiling that you don't see) and the trim, which is visible. With little or no profile, recessed lighting provides effective ambient and accent illumination for both residential and commercial use.
Does the integrated bulb (light engine) make the fixture disposable? If the LED light engine goes out does that mean you have to replace the whole fixture? Not in all cases, we have products that have replaceable light engines; therefore, if the light engine were to fail it could easily be replaced. These products carry a 5-year warranty and we would replace the light engine at no cost.
