Re: How to create a down light embedded in the ceiling
@okh

to take it to a more generic level, a lamp in the basic collection that can be turned and focus the light in any direction. This should be useful in many contexts.


Agree!
But then it would need to have a separate mounting bracket for wall or ceiling – a bracket that was connected to the spotlight, but not affected by the angle or direction of it.
In order for that to work, we would need a possibility to define our own anchor-points. Like it is now, the pivot is glued to the centre of the object, but by defining our own anchor-points and then maybe connect objects at their anchor-points...

Alternatively, two separate objects might work: a bracket and a reflector.



... especially if the reflector had a light source embedded...


Get well!
