Lighting Mounting Upside Down

I new to Revit, and the first in my department to be using Revit, so I have been doing a lot of self teaching. 

 

One thing i have been unable to figure out is inserting lighting into my model. When I try inserting them into my ceiling plan, I end up with the lights toward the roof, and the cases facing the floor.

 

I attached the Light Family I am trying to use.

 

Thank you!

You will want to work in the Reflected Ceiling plan for the level you want to place these on (and you will need a ceiling (or roof) in the model since this is a facebased object).  Once you select the family to place, notice on the options bar on the top right of the ribbon that it defaults to place on vertical face...switch it to Place on Face and position the light on the ceiling, you can use the space bar to rotate it before placing it.
