Are you planning to install retrofit recessed lighting in your home, garage, or other residential space? You probably already know that retrofit recessed lighting installations prevent as much as 10% of your heating from escaping through the ceiling, so there’s no question that retrofit recessed lighting can save you money on monthly energy bills.

Our custom home builders in Baltimore County have helped many homeowners in Maryland install retrofit recessed lighting for their new home and remodel projects. They aren’t just economic—they’re very decorative, and they deliver effective ambient lighting to indoor spaces of all kinds

Find the Trim That Is Right for You!

Trim is to recess lighting as lamp shade is to lamp—the style and function should fit your preference and satisfy your needs. There are many different kinds of trims to choose from. We provide a breakdown of some of the more popular trims here:

Baffle trim is perhaps the most popular. It traps and shapes light in order to reduce glare without limiting the light’s ambient potential.

Open trim is economical, efficient, and just as attractive as they come, but doesn’t sacrifice function for frill for your retrofit recessed lighting.

Adjustable trim, also known as the “eyeball trim,” provides directional lighting and is highly effective under decks or in entertainment rooms.

Reflector trim maximizes the light output of a fixture. Great for residential and commercial spaces alike where strong lighting is a must.

Shower lens trim diffuses light and protects the light and housing of the fixture. Effective for porches, showers, and other wet locations.
