The light engine is more often designed as an integrated assembly rather than a lamp-based assembly. The trims are installed in downlight housings that are available in new construction, remodel, Chicago Plenum, Air-tight IC and Non-IC options. The flangeless trim and light moduleįlangeless trims are available in different types of recessed LED luminaires, including downlights with round or square apertures, as well as reflector trims, wall wash trims, slope trims, baffle trims, eyeball trims, gimbal trims, and retractable trims. The flangeless trim is snapped into the mud-in trim to complete the installation process. The LED driver and light engine are then installed in place from below ceiling. Remove the plaster shield in the mud-in trim when the fully dried ad cured surface over mud-in trim and plaster shield gives appearance of a perfectly flat ceiling. The drywall compound is applied to the mud-in trim until drywall compound level with the ceiling surface. The mud-in trim includes a cardboard insert or plastic plaster shield which prevents mudding inside aperture. It is secured to the downlight housing aperture and gypsum board prior to mudding or finishing of ceiling. The mud-in trim is a perforated, die-cast or steel mesh plate which allows for drywall compound to be applied and attached to the gypsum board. The trimless look is accomplished by mudding a plaster plate (mud-in trim) to the ceiling. Trimless LED downlights are designed for installation in drywall ceilings. Delivering inconspicuous light that appears to shine from a hole in the ceiling, flangeless trim downlights perfectly demonstrate the design ethos of recessed lighting. Trimless recessed lighting is the most unobtrusive way to introduce ambient, accent and task light into a space. The clean and sophisticated look is embraced by upscale retail stores, modern offices, high-end residences, prestigious hospitality spaces, galleries and museums in a huge way. Trimless recessed lighting enables seamless integration of lighting and architecture, making the light fixtures an integral part of the interior design composition and its architectural style. Clean lines, minimalist appeal and architectural integration take precedence over the ornate and all things frilly in modern and contemporary designs. Trimless LED downlights eliminate the flange to create a visually clean ceiling aesthetic. The trim flange thus acts as a cover to hide the unfinished hole for a seamless look while preventing the luminaire from penetrating into the ceiling. The reflector trim is often mechanically retained with torsion springs or retention clips which hold the flange tight to the finished ceiling surface. A recessed luminaire of the classic design has a self-flanged reflector trim that comes with an integral a trim flange (also known as a trim ring). Every downlight has a trim which is defined as the visible portion of the luminaire when looking up into it. Strictly speaking, it is a flangeless luminaire but not trimless. A trimless LED downlight is a recessed light fixture that has no exposed trim flange.
