If you are in a modern home, you will undoubtedly come across ceiling recessed spots. Not so crazy, it’s a subtle but effective way of lighting. Ceiling recessed spots are available in different shapes and sizes, and the quality can vary widely! In this blog we tell you everything about (good!) ceiling recessed spots.
Ceiling recessed spots became very popular in homes and office spaces over the last few years. Ceiling recessed spots are a light source that is mounted on a ceiling, making it look clean and modern. Ceiling recessed spots are a subtle way to bring lighting into your home, they are very effective and versatile. Ceiling recessed spots are by the way different from surface-mounted spots which, as the name suggests, are not incorporated in the ceiling but are mounted against it.
During the day you need more and more functional light. In the evening you need dimmed light in a warmer colour temperature. Light sources with “dim to warm” light are ideal for displaying the light you need at that moment. In addition to choosing the right light source, the position of the light source in the house is also crucial. A lighting plan can be very helpful here. It prescribes in which position and which type of light source should be placed!
Ceiling recessed spots fit in almost any space and illuminate an object such as a kitchen island, living room, cupboard or painting functional because the recessed spots light up the object from the ceiling. Spots are therefore mainly used as basic lighting. They are so discrete that it is a common choice in new houses. Besides that, they can fully illuminate a space and are often dimmable or changeable in ambiance: this makes the lighting very user-friendly. The glareless pin spot van Dydell, a good example of high-quality ceiling recessed spots, can change the ambiance, can become perfectly dimmed, and can be controlled remotely, but also with a light switch.

Qualitatively good ceiling recessed spots can dim but can also change in colour temperature: functional bright white light and soft and atmospheric light. That’s why the ceiling recessed spots are very popular in areas such as the dining room and kitchen. Also in restaurants and bars are ceiling recessed spots popular. But on what position should the recessed spot be placed? The right place for the lighting of a room is a separate profession. A light plan is the solution. A light plan prescribes the position at which the lighting, such as a ceiling recessed spot should be placed.
Recessed ceiling spots are often controlled through traditional switches or dimmers. Because it is now a sensible choice to opt for LED recessed spots, it is also important to choose the correct controller. For halogen spots and light bulbs phase-cut dimming was often used. By cutting off the electricity the spotlight started to glow less and less. Led works differently. Led must be dimmed digitized. If an LED recessed spot is dimmed with a phase cut-off, it is possible that there is a flash.
No that is not necessary. Through for example the Casambi operating system, which works on Bluetooth mesh, it is possible to use the existing 230V cabling. through the Casambi chip, which is incorporated in the lighting, the lamp can be dimmed, change colour, operate as a group and be set on time. So, you get access to many smart light functionalities from ceiling recessed spots when you choose smart lighting. You can control this smart lighting with an app on your smartphone or tablet.
