Collection: Gimbal Recessed Lights

Gimbal recessed lights feature an adjustable inner ring that lets you aim the beam in different directions. They’re perfect for highlighting artwork, accent walls, or architectural features where fixed lights won’t provide the right focus.

Install gimbal recessed lights in living rooms, galleries, kitchens, or hallways where you want to highlight specific areas. They’re also useful on sloped ceilings since the adjustable trim allows you to direct the light straight down.
