This fixture uses an optical lens + reflector to turn point light into a directional, near-parallel beam, which minimizes fall-off from top to bottom.

The anti-glare optic and precise 35° beam keep light on the vertical surface and out of occupants’ eyes.

A wall-washer is built to light vertical planes (feature walls, art, shelving) evenly; a downlight mainly brightens the floor/workplane. For balanced, high-end results, layer them: use the wall-washers along the feature wall and downlights for ambient/task lighting elsewhere. This combo looks more intentional and often reduces the number of “general” lights you need.

No. It’s only 3 inches, and the narrow trim lets it blend seamlessly with the ceiling, preserving a clean, cohesive look.
