The mounting frame includes a mounting ring and spring members which can hold a lighting fixture trim in place. In addition to the mounting frame, the kit may also include fastening means for mounting the frame onto the ceiling, a junction box, an electrical conduit and/or a socket cup. The mounting method generally involves the steps of installing the mounting frame in the ceiling, and mounting the trim in the frame by inserting the trim into the spring members.
