3. Up/Downlight

From a design standpoint, these spotlights are the best for a wide range of uses. Uplights can bring statues to life, create patterns on walls, and beautify your yard.

4. Step lights

If you've ever fallen down the stairs in the dark. There is no doubt that you need to install a step light meter on your steps to illuminate the steps.
