For the versatile, upscale look, designers often recommend trimless recessed lighting.\u00a0T<\/em>rimless recessed\u00a0<\/i>refers to recessed lighting which contains no visible trim ring.<\/span><\/p>\n

The versatile nature of this lighting owes to its design, which\u00a0usually offers an adjustable gimbal light source allowing the user to direct the beam of light. “One of the most common misconceptions about trimless recessed lighting is that it\u2019s\u00a0actually trimless. In fact, there is a trim,” said Alcon Lighting co-founder Jake Hakimi. “The trim is\u00a0plastered into the ceiling. With no visible trim, the lights are tucked away, appearing as though\u00a0they are built into the ceiling, offering a polished, premium look.”<\/span><\/p>\n

There are several types of trimless recessed lighting product categories;\u00a0trimless linear fixtures<\/a> and trimless recessed multiples<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Trimless multiples<\/em> come with multiple adjustable gimbal lamps (usually between two and five) and are often used in retail and museum applications. This is because a large\u00a0volume of adjustable task light is necessary\u00a0to envelop the space with minimal attention to the fixtures.<\/span><\/p>\n

Key Points For\u00a0Flawless\u00a0Installation\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The installation of trimless recessed lighting is more involved. \u00a0Certain steps may ensure a clean, professional installation.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Most trimless lighting products accommodate all drywall widths,\u201d Hakimi said. \u201cHowever, some can be specific. Double check to make sure the specifications of your trimless fixture work with your ceiling drywall width.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Understand the roles and responsibilities of the installers. Working with an installer with experience in\u00a0trimless applications is ideal. It is the electrician\u2018s responsibility to power and install the fixture and the drywaller\u2019s responsibility to plaster the trim of the lights into the ceiling.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Trimless Lighting\u00a0Advantages<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1. A cleaner, architectural lighting design<\/a> look. Trimless design\u00a0(alternately\u00a0referred to invisible trim or rimless) gives the\u00a0installation a cleaner,\u00a0seamless\u00a0look\u2014as if it\u2019s embedded into the ceiling.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Increased versatility and functionality with\u00a0an adjustable LED light source to permit\u00a0aiming the beam of light.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Diversified spotlighting. A model such as the\u00a0Alcon Lighting 14113-3 Oculare Pull-Down 3-Light Multiple<\/a>\u00a0offers three\u00a0retractable, adjustable gimbal spotlights.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. More light. Multiples lighting is brighter than non-multiple versions.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Wide application. Trimless LED recessed multiples fit\u00a0a variety of settings, from commercial applications such as\u00a0retail stores\u00a0to upscale residential applications such\u00a0apartment buildings and houses.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Added value to your space, property and\u00a0objects\u00a0on display, whether art or retail products.<\/span><\/p>\n
