I see many home renovation inspiration nowadays install downlights (did I use this term correctly)?

If I want the cozy kind of feeling in living room and master bedroom, need these kind of lights and plaster ceiling?

Bought new subsale house, plan to renovate, but all comes with original ceiling I think, no plaster ceiling

Those recessed LED downlights you mean? These can only be done with plaster ceiling as it is mounted in the ceiling.

You can also look into those surface mounted LED downlights. Those do not require plaster ceiling.

Recessed LED downlights makes your house  looks more modern and sleek. If that is what you are looking for.

At office have some of these 'recessed LED downlights' but it kind of makes my eye fatigue after a while, especially if I'm talking to someone / having a meeting, and the lights are just above my eyes. Not sure if it's due to the lightbulb itself (at office is usually bright white color), or because it's a downlight (somehow I don't face this issue with those traditional fluorescent lights that our old parent's house has).

There are 3 colors to choose from. Usually I get the 4K cool white as it does not come out being too bright. Choose one that suits your usage. For example if you are using it in the bedroom you may want to choose the yellow light.

Oh okay, 3 colors meaning all types of lightbulbs suitable for downlights have only 3 colors, across all brands?
