Recessed lighting is installed inside an opening in the ceiling, so only the frame and light are visible, giving a more subdued look.
Surface-mounted lighting, on the other hand, is installed directly onto the ceiling without the need for a cut-out opening, and is suitable for concrete ceilings or places where recessed installation is difficult.
For example, if the ceiling is gypsum and suitable openings can be prepared, recessed lighting might be a practical option. However, if there is no void inside the ceiling, surface-mounted lighting is easier to install.
Al Zamil Lighting offers recessed and surface-mounted options in various shapes and sizes, depending on the ceiling type and space.
