Gimbal lighting refers to lighting where the fixtures (usually spotlights or lamps) can be adjusted in different directions. The word "gimbal" comes from the gimbal mechanism , which means the lights can rotate or tilt, allowing you to direct the light beam wherever you want. This offers flexibility in creating directional lighting, for example, to highlight specific areas in a room or to create a specific atmosphere.
In practice, gimbal lighting is often found in:
- Adjustable LED spotlights that you can rotate or tilt.
- Recessed spotlights that have a tilt mechanism so that you can direct them in different directions.
- Track lighting , where the spotlights can be moved and rotated along a rail system to direct the light beam.
Gimbal lighting is therefore ideal for those looking for flexible and targeted lighting in, for example, living rooms, kitchens, galleries, or showrooms. It offers the ability to easily adjust the lighting depending on the needs of the moment.
