Trim Thinking

With regards to building a home, or reworking one, there are thousands of things to consider. Lighting is among the most essential. What you want the mood of a room to be can be drastically affected by the lighting you use. But you don't want people to focus on the lights, so how to handle?

Consider recessed lighting.

And one of the major things to consider is your recessed lighting trim. And there are a lot to choose from... let's take a look.

The most standard and popular one is open. Open trims are appropriate for both accented lighting and general lighting. Selecting a color that matches your ceiling color allows the light fixture to go unnoticed.

Glares can be caused from the trim around the lights and Baffle trims counter that by having groves inside to turn down the brightness on the reflectors surface.

Wall-Washing trims have a small eyelid like cover that aims the light along the wall. You see this a lot in movie theaters, along the walls, providing light to see by, but not over lighting the room.

Eye-Ball trim helps you to focus the light where you need it, whether wall-washing or focusing your most recent art purchase. These give you the flexibility to aim them where necessary at any time.

Not everyone has a ceiling upright to the floor. Sloped recessed lighting trim allows for the vaulted / slanted roof. Allowing for the bulb to sit at up to a 45 degree angle; keeping the light where you need it.

Slotted trims are commonly used with small PAR bulbs and allow for vertical adjustment while covering the lamp's image.

Lensed trims also cover the original image of the lamp. Covering the lamp is sometimes required to meet certain building codes and can keep the lamps from getting damp; whether outside, or in a bathroom.

Decorative trims offer you the feature to really put a personal touch on your spaces. Not just attractive, many can cut down on glares and hot spots.

Recessed lighting trim can make or break a room. Make sure you know what you want, and talk to professionals to ensure you get the space of your dreams.
