Abstract
A ring/baffle element for a trim of a recessed lighting fixture comprises ring and baffle portions formed of one piece. The ring portion includes a flat trim ring. The baffle portion includes an upstanding flange, a sleeve, and a connector wall. The flange forms a socket to receive the lower end of a reflector. The sleeve is situated within a space formed by an inner periphery of the trim ring. The connector wall connects the sleeve to the ring portion. The sleeve has an inner surface forming a central main light passage. The baffle portion includes a plurality of secondary light passages spaced around a vertical axis defined by the sleeve for emitting a secondary light pattern around the outer perimeter of the main light passage. The secondary light passages can be formed in the connector wall or the sleeve.
