Abstract
A recessed lighting fixture for a surface defined by a panel where the light is adapted for mounting behind the surface, including a can having an opening on one side for escaping light, a mount for securing a light source in the can, and a flange member having a central opening matching the can opening. The can is mountable behind the surface with a first mounting adapter about the can opening. A second mounting adapter is about the flange member opening. A plaster flange is secured to the flange member to define a surface with an inner boundary matching the can opening and an outer boundary generally matching the panel opening. The mounting adapters are adapted to secure the flange member to the can with the plaster flange planar surface within the panel opening and substantially coplanar with the panel surface.
