A mounting system includes an upper collar, a first lower collar that is configured to magnetically couple a rimmed finishing section to a luminaire, and a second lower collar that is configured to magnetically couple a rimless finishing section to the recessed luminaire. The first lower collar is removably coupled to the upper collar when the rimmed finishing section is to be coupled to the recessed luminaire, and the second lower collar is removably coupled to the upper collar when the rimless finishing section is to be coupled to the recessed luminaire.

A trim assembly includes a rimless trim, a reflector coupled to the rimless trim, and an optical lens disposed on the reflector. Further, the trim assembly includes a lens holder having pressure tabs formed on an inner surface thereof. The lens holder is disposed in the trim assembly such that the pressure tabs engage the optical lens to releasably seal the optical lens to the reflector for preventing entry of water. The lens holder stretches sideways to release the seal and at least partially separate the optical lens form the reflector when a force is applied on the optical lens. The partial separation between the optical lens and the reflector exposes a surface of the reflector that provides a grip to remove the trim assembly comprising the rimless trim from a mounting surface when the trim assembly is recess mounted in a mounting surface.

Trim removal system

A housing for a luminaire is disclosed. The housing can include a housing top and a housing body coupled to each other. The housing body can include at least one wall that is bendable to form a cavity. The housing body can also include at least one first housing body coupling feature disposed on a first end, and at least one second complementary housing body coupling feature disposed on the first end adjacent to the at least one first housing body coupling feature. The housing body can further include at least one second housing body coupling feature disposed on a second end, and at least one first complementary housing body coupling feature disposed on the second end adjacent to the at least one second housing body coupling feature.

Housings and related components for luminaires

Recessed luminaire components include a lathing ring that is installed in a ceiling using fold-over tabs that are coupled to the lathing ring. The recessed luminaire components further include a rimless housing can and a plurality of flange clips that are removably coupled to the rimless housing can. The rimless housing can and flange clip assembly is installed in the ceiling fitted with the lathing ring. The recessed luminaire components also include a snap fit lathing ring that is configured to be coupled a housing instead of being coupled to the ceiling for an alternative installation. The snap fit lathing ring may include one or more snap tabs that are configured to engage corresponding notches in the housing.

A retention structure for retaining a recessed lighting fixture behind a ceiling includes an attachment structure that has a first wall and a second wall. The attachment structure is designed to be attached to a housing of a recessed light fixture. The retention structure further includes a screw attached to the first wall of the attachment structure and to the second wall of the attachment structure. The retention structure also includes a pawl attached to the threaded screw. The pawl is rotatable along with the threaded screw. The pawl is also axially movable along the threaded screw between the first wall of the attachment structure and the second wall of the attachment structure.

Tapered lighting fixture junction box

A lighting fixture structure for a recessed lighting fixture includes a housing and a junction box. The lighting fixture structure further includes an arm. The arm is attached to the housing and to the junction box. The arm is rotatably attached to the housing.

Rotatable junction box assembly

A junction box includes a first cover plate that covers a first open side defined by a main body, and a second cover plate that covers a second open side defined by the main body. The second cover plate includes a mounting pad to attach an electrical component thereto. The electrical component is disposed in an inner cavity defined by the main body when the second cover plate is in a closed position. Further, the junction box includes a fastening device that retains the first cover plate and the second cover plate in the closed position and operates without interfering with a mounting structure in which the junction box is disposed. Furthermore, the junction box includes chamfer walls and wire traps disposed thereon to receive and pass electrical wiring cables into the junction box therethrough.

Recessed luminaire housing and junction box

A remodel recessed luminaire includes a housing can that defines a first slope and a junction box that defines a second slope. Further, the housing can includes a channel to retain a thermoprotector therein, the channel being defined by an indentation formed in a top wall of the housing can. The junction box includes a top cover that is coupled to a main body of the junction box and the top wall of the housing can such that the top cover encloses a wire management cavity that is formed by the channel that is communication with a second cavity defined by the main body. Furthermore, the junction box includes a coupling feature to attach an electrical component to the junction box. The first slope and the second slope operate in unison to fit the remodel recessed luminaire through small ceiling apertures and/or ceiling apertures in thick ceilings.
