The classic white shower trimThe HV4-TH4013-WH is a
shower trim for 4-inch recessed lighting, finished with a white trim ring. It is the simplest, most versatile way to light a shower stall or bathtub: the white ring blends with the ceiling and the light goes exactly where it is needed. In many bathrooms the ceiling fixture sits outside the shower, leaving the enclosure dim; a dedicated recessed light fixes that for good.
Bulb recommendationsThis trim is intended for an
MR16 bulb with a 35W rating. An
LED MR16 bulb compatible with your housing is the recommended choice: less heat, far fewer replacements and much lower energy use than halogen. Neutral white is ideal for everyday routines and cleaning, and warm white creates a softer, relaxing atmosphere for evening baths.
Installation and safetyA qualified electrician should install and wire the
4-inch recessed housing and confirm that the housing and trim are suitable for the shower location under your local electrical code. With the power off at the panel, install the bulb, then push the trim up until the white ring sits flat against the ceiling. Adding a
shower pot light is especially appreciated in accessible bathrooms and seniors' residences, where good visibility helps prevent slips.
Choosing between finishesWhite is the classic, go-with-everything option. The same shower trim also comes with a matte white ring for an even softer, non-glossy look, and with a chrome ring to match polished faucets and accessories. For accent lighting on artwork or a feature wall in another room, the
4-inch gimbal trim in brushed brass from the same series lets you tilt the light.
Easy cleaningMoisture and soap film are part of bathroom life, so wipe the ring now and then with a soft cloth and mild soapy water, then dry it, with the power off and the bulb cool. Avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners on the white finish. With an LED bulb, your shower light stays bright and clean for years.
