planning a job where i am fitting down lights in the kitchen, part of the ceiling is angled. The other downlights on the level ceiling are blocked out by a person stood at the sink when washing up etc.
The ceiling is between 35-40 degrees. a normal light would shine out into the kitchen rather than downwards.
Been asked to fit one on the angled part so the light points directly down below. not fitted them in angled ceilings in a domestic setting before
A lot of the movable downlights with gimbles etc in have quite shallow angles, so if i mount it a bit higher up the angled beam should reach below where i want it as the angled ceiling goes up beyond the sink.
Ideally i want a downlight with a really good degree of angle on it so i can position it just right to literally shine in the sink!.
What angled downlights are people using? I need brushed chrome / nickel bezels on them.

I put some of these in a vaulted ceiling Vela Compact IP44 Dimmable LED Fire Rated Downlight - 7W - http://www.greenbrook.co.uk/downlights-vela-compact-ip44-dimmable-led-fire-rated-downlight-7w-1499
primarily because of their low profile (40mm), available in the ceiling. 25' tilt & 40' beam angle.

Have you thought about, how they will be installed in a Celotex etc ceiling installation, if there is one?
No celotex in the extension roof, all usual insulation wool up there.
