        "text": "Recessed light fixtures are installed directly into the ceiling, creating a flush, streamlined appearance where the light source is hidden. They are often used for general ambient or task lighting. Surface-mount fixtures, conversely, are installed directly onto the ceiling surface, with the entire fixture body visible. They are easier to install and can provide more decorative options, often serving as a central light source.",
