A side insertion trap for cable or wire includes a base and two arms extending from the base to define an opening between the arms for permitting lateral insertion of a cable or wire between the arms. A retention member, such as one or more angled teeth, serves to inhibit motion of the wire or cable between the arms in a direction perpendicular to a lateral insertion direction.

Trim for ceiling recessed lighting fixture

A recessed light fixture for a ceiling includes a trim ring, a pivot ring mounted on the trim ring for rotation about a vertical axis, and an enclosure portion rotatable about a horizontal axis intersecting the vertical axis. The enclosure portion includes upper and lower enclosures. The upper enclosure carries a lamp socket in horizontal offset relationship to the vertical and horizontal axes. The lamp socket defines a longitudinal axis which coincides with a center axis of a downwardly open circular mouth of the lower enclosure. The lower enclosure intersects the upper enclosure to form therewith a circular waist. Each of the upper and lower enclosures have a cross-sectional area increasing in size in a respective direction away from the waist. A center axis of the waist intersects the center axis of the mouth at an oblique angle.

Adjustable trim for recessed lighting fixture

A ceiling mounted, recessed, wallwash light fixture includes a reflector having an internal reflecting surface. A wallwash segment of that reflecting surface is defined by vertically adjacent reflecting faces each arranged so that an effective lowest point of brightness seen by the reflecting face is reflected along a line passing below an opposing portion of a bottom edge of the reflector. The wallwash segment can be defined by an insert attached to the reflecting surface.
