A trimless fixture is plastered in, so the ceiling runs right up to the opening and nothing shows but a hole with light coming out of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese also carry an anti-glare baffle, which sets the emitter deep inside the housing so you cannot see it from a standing position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy anti-glare matters more than output\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA bright downlight you can see the source of is uncomfortable to walk under, and the discomfort has nothing to do with how much light reaches the floor.
