The RD33 Half Shield Trim is precision-engineered to complement LED inground fixtures that utilize the latest in solid-state lighting technology. By partially shielding the light output, this trim enables controlled beam distribution, reducing light spill and directing illumination toward targeted landscape features. This makes it an excellent tool for creating dramatic uplighting effects while maintaining dark-sky-friendly practices around your home.

Constructed from marine-grade brushed stainless steel, the RD33 is built to withstand prolonged exposure to moisture, soil contact, and temperature extremes common across Canadian climates. The corrosion-resistant material ensures long-term durability and structural integrity, making it well suited for installations that are IP-rated for wet locations and direct burial applications. This level of material quality means fewer replacements and lower maintenance over the life of your lighting system.

This accessory is designed to work within lighting systems that are cUL or CSA approved, ensuring full compliance with Canadian electrical safety standards. When paired with a compatible inground LED fixture featuring a high CRI rating and an efficient LED driver, the RD33 helps you get the most out of your system's energy performance — delivering significant energy savings compared to traditional halogen or incandescent landscape lighting while maintaining superior light quality.

Installation is straightforward for both homeowners and licensed electricians. The trim is designed to seat securely onto compatible LUMENSTARLED inground housings without the need for specialized tools or additional hardware. For best results, ensure that the host recessed ground fixture is properly installed with adequate drainage and thermal management provisions, as these factors directly impact the longevity of both the trim and the LED light source beneath it.
