Abstract
A luminaire () for mounting in an annular housing () having a cylindrical sidewall with an inner diameter (), said sidewall terminating in an upper rim () is disclosed. The luminaire () comprises a reflector () having a light exit aperture () mounted in an annular body and a wedge-shaped clip () movably attached to the annular body by a spring () such that the annular body has a first diameter not exceeding the inner diameter () when the clip is pressed against the body by compressing said spring; and a second diameter exceeding the inner diameter when said spring is relaxed. The clip () further comprises an outwardly inclined member () in the direction of the light exit aperture and the reflector further comprises an outwardly inclining groove () in the direction of the light exit aperture engaging with the outwardly inclined member () to facilitate easy release of the luminaire from its annular housing. A mounting kit including the luminaire and annular housing is also disclosed, as is a mounting method for mounting the luminaire in such an annular housing.
