Adjustable recessed lighting, commonly also known as gimbal light fixtures or eyeball light fixtures, are a special type of recessed light with a unique pivoting inner component allows for directional recessed lighting, in contrast to fixed recessed downlights that cast light straight down. LED eyeball lights were primarily invented to solve the problem of vaulted ceiling lighting and sloped ceiling lighting, when non-adjustable recessed lights on angled ceilings created uneven illumination.
Historically, pot lights for angled ceilings used incandescent or halogen sources before the invention of LED. Today, LED adjustable can lights offer efficiency and adaptability for directional lighting.

FAQs

Yes, you can angle recessed lighting. Can lights for angled ceilings are called gimbal lights or eyeball can lights.
Whether you're working with can lights for angled ceilings or eyeball can lights or opting for low profile canless gimbal lights in new construction, LED eyeball lights gives you control over direction and beam focus.
. These directional ceiling lights are specifically designed with tilting and pivoting capability for use in lighting with vaulted ceilings. Tilt recessed lighting gives users the flexibility to direct light exactly where it’s needed; whether it's to highlight an art piece, wash a wall with light, or adjust for angles in sloped ceiling recessed lighting. In this way recessed adjustable downlight fixtures stand apart from non-adjustable recessed lights with only a fixed downward beam.

Adjustable ceiling light fixtures come in two main types: LED eyeball retrofit that replaces existing can lighting, and canless adjustable angle recessed lighting that goes in new ceilings. While both provide directional light, they have significant differences when it comes to their construction and application. Directional can lights are made to be installed into the ceiling with metal canisters that both power the fixture and manage heat. Adjustable wafer lights integrate the light and driver into a single unit, which eliminate the need for a can and simplifies angled ceiling lights installation where the ceiling is shallow or does not have recessed light canisters installed. Directional wafer lights are especially popular in renovations due to their modern and minimalist look.

The key physical difference between LED gimbal recessed lights and eyeball recessed lights is how they adjust. Gimbal lighting pivots within the housing, maintaining a flush, recessed appearance. As a result, gimbal LED can lights offer precise directional control ideal for accent lighting artworks or unique features. Recessed eyeball can lights have a rounded, protruding trim that extends outward for broader movement. Eyeball recessed lighting provides wider adjustability, making LED eyeball lights better for general directional lighting. A good vaulted ceiling recessed lighting layout can incorporate both gimbal led recessed light fixtures for broad illumination and eyeball LED lights for accent lighting.
