Can lights vs ceiling lights

[Damien]

Hi,

Is can lights same as ceiling lights? I am confused as I see many people calling them different things.
I would like to put up either flat/ flush lights, are these the same thing?

Basically the same. Can lights always go up in the ceiling as far as Im aware. Those flat ones are a different type of ceiling lights, I think are known as slim canless lights.

As Ojay said, they are almost the same thing.

Just to add, all can lights are ceiling lights, but not all ceiling lights are can lights. For example, there are other kinds of ceiling lights like the pendant, flush mount, and track lights. Can lights always go up on the ceiling.
