Spotlights are the way to go for focusing light in particular areas or breaking up one light fixture to direct light in specific directions. Spotlights can give an art gallery like feel and atmosphere it a room with light being focused and directed at various points in the room or hall. Spotlights can be used as the main light for a room or hallway.
There are many different designs and styles of Spotlights. Some are just simple horizontal bar mounted like a Semi Flushmount with the ceiling. Others curve around or have certain shapes and designs, also like a free-floating tract lighting design. There are Spotlight Semi Flushmounts that feature one single spotlight and others that have up to six or more spotlights on one fixture. Spotlight selection just depends and what you want to highlight in a room or hallway and how many actual spotlights you will need.
