Abstract
A luminaire can include a light engine producing a light beam, a zoomable optic changing the light beam's solid angle, and a light conditioner that may diffuse the light beam, split the light beam, or produce a wall wash beam from the light beam. The luminaire may removably attach to a frame mounted in a ceiling. A power supply powering the light engine and a collar may also removably attach to the frame. The luminaire is located in a collar hole in the frame to thereby pass through the ceiling. The collar adapts the collar hole for differently sized luminaires such as 4 inch or 6 inch luminaires.
