Abstract
A unitary reflector trim to shield a viewer's line of sight past a lamp into a lighting fixture, eliminating the material and assembly expense of additional components. Included in the reflector trim are a cylindrical socket cup receiving neck which transitions into a waist section having a smaller diameter than the neck. A reflector section transitions from the waist section. A trim ring extends from the base of the reflector section to cover the edges of a ceiling opening. All of the elements are integral with each other, forming a single piece reflector trim.
