Recessed Lighting Trims
Once you figure out the type of housing you need and the size of light you want, then you can start the fun part by picking out the trims. The trim is the part of the light fixture that you see and determines the look, the feel and the amount of light. These are our eight most popular trim types:
Adjustable Trims
· Commonly called the eyeball trim or directional

Other adjustable trims offer a more pivoted feature that enables you to turn them toward a particular area for an even illumination.
