recessed lighting


Explanation:
Given the context, it sounds like a molding around a lighting fixture, which makes it appear to be recessed. See these links:

foseados
recessed areas


Explanation:
I think this probably refers primarily to "foseados perimetrales", that is, that gap or space between a false ceiling and the wall. Can find no specific term for this however.

Example of Spanish use:
"El caso es que a mi no me gusta la moldura yles dije queme hicieran un foseado, es decir, escayola en el techo excepto los bordes que va como un foso."
