Recessed Lighting Trim

Lighting is essential to good home design. A good lighting plan can emphasize architectural details, provide task lighting, and create a comfortable and warm ambiance. One of the amenities most frequently requested by home buyers is recessed lighting.

Recessed lighting is set into the ceiling, and can be laid out in an endless array of formats. While recessed lighting has long been a staple of home builders and remodelers, new innovations have brought recessed lighting into the new millennium. Halo recessed lighting trim can be used to customize the look of new or existing recessed lighting.

Halo recessed lighting trim comes in a variety of styles to match the function and design of any home decor. There are several different types of trim available:

• Reflectors: Reflectors are just what you would imagine, they are shiny, reflective trims used to reflect light and create a brighter effect from the recessed fixture. Reflector trims are best suited to use in general and task lighting functions, as they tend to give off more light.

• Baffles: When a lighting application requires bright light to be directed in a specific direction, baffles can be used. Baffles are used with reflectors to direct the light in the direction needed. Halo recessed lighting trim baffles are designed to work in concert with halo reflectors to direct light where it is needed.

• Open trims: The basic recessed lighting trims are called open trims. Open trims create a clean, neat look for your recessed lighting installation. Open trims are available in a variety of colors and metallic finishes complementing any decor.

• Directionals: These trims are exactly as the name describes, used to point light in a specific direction. Directionals and adjustables are uniquely designed to provide emphasis on artwork and other important features the homeowner wishes to highlight.

• Diffusers: When direct light is too bright for a lighting application, diffusers can be used to decrease the light level of recessed lighting. The halo recessed lighting trim collection offers diffusers that will create the perfect atmosphere for any room in the house.

• Architectural trims: Some modern homes have steep, dramatic ceilings that in the past would not have lent themselves well to the installation of recessed lighting. Today there are a variety of trims to fit in with any home design. Shallow and steep trims are available to give a clean, finished look to recessed lighting on any type of ceiling.

Recessed lighting is a modern application for any home. Modern recessed lighting goes beyond the applications of the past, and includes “greener” options such as housing for fluorescent and halogen bulbs. If you are considering recessed lighting in your home, halo recessed lighting trim can be used to customize a lighting plan that meets all your needs.
