Abstract

A lighting assembly (), including a housing (), a trim assembly (), a housing magnet (), and a trim magnet (), is provided. The housing () includes a cavity () extending along a central axis (A). The trim assembly () inserts into the cavity (). The housing magnet () is mounted in the cavity (). A first pole () having a first polarity (P) of the housing magnet () is oriented towards the central axis (A). The trim magnet () is mounted to the trim assembly (). A first pole () of the trim magnet () is oriented away from the central axis (Al) of the housing (). The first pole () of the trim magnet () has the first polarity (P) to repel the housing magnet (). The first pole () of the housing magnet () repels the first pole () of the trim magnet () in a first direction (D) when the housing magnet () is above the trim magnet (), and in a second direction (D) when the housing magnet () is below the trim magnet () to retain the trim assembly ().
