Aim your light exactly where it matters with the 4" MR16 gimbal trim in flat white (SKU RTM418T-FWH). This 4-inch recessed trim is a round, low-profile gimbal trim with a tilting centre lamp holder: you point the beam at a painting, a kitchen counter, a bookcase or a retail display, and it keeps the angle you set. Often searched as a pot light trim, an adjustable eyeball trim or a gimbal trim, it is made for accent and task lighting in homes, condos, offices and stores, and it is rated for an MR16 lamp up to 75W.

The trim is made of powder-coated steel in a flat white finish, a soft matte white that disappears into a painted ceiling without the shine of a glossy trim. Two stainless steel torsion springs hold it firmly in the housing for a rigid, flush fit, while self-centring side pressure clips in the lamp holder keep the MR16 lamp straight. The lamp loads from the rear, so the front of the trim stays clean and tidy. Want a bolder contrast on a dark ceiling? The same trim also comes as the 4" MR16 gimbal trim in black.

In Canadian homes, this adjustable recessed trim is perfect above a kitchen island, along a hallway gallery, around a fireplace or in a basement family room where you want light on a specific area rather than spread everywhere. Boutiques, galleries, restaurants and hotel lobbies use it to spotlight merchandise, artwork and menus. Pair it with an LED MR16 lamp to keep energy use and heat low, respect the 75W maximum, and give each ceiling opening a neat, professional look. Add it to your renovation list and light your space with precision.

A low-profile gimbal trim built for accent lighting
The RTM418T-FWH is a round 4" trim with a tilting gimbal, designed for accent and task lighting. Its powder-coated steel body keeps a slim, low profile on the ceiling, and the tilting centre lamp holder maintains the angle you choose, so the light stays on the artwork, counter or display instead of drifting back to straight down. The flat white finish is matte and discreet, ideal on a freshly painted white ceiling.

Lamp holder and rigidity
This trim is rated for an MR16 lamp with a maximum of 75W. Two enhanced side pressure clips in the lamp holder are self-centring, so the lamp sits straight and the beam goes where you aim it. The lamp is loaded from the rear of the trim. Two stainless steel torsion springs clip into the housing and give the trim extra rigidity, which keeps it flush against the ceiling after you adjust the gimbal. An LED MR16 lamp is a popular choice to reduce energy use and heat compared with an older halogen lamp while keeping a tight, directional beam.

Installation tips
Turn off the power at the breaker. Insert the MR16 lamp from the rear into the lamp holder and connect it to the socket, then squeeze the two torsion springs and slide them into the brackets of the recessed housing. Push the trim up until it sits flat against the ceiling and tilt the centre to aim the beam. Always check that the lamp, the trim and the housing are compatible and respect the 75W maximum. Because everything is done from below, a contractor or a handy homeowner can refresh several pot lights in a single afternoon.

Where to use it
Use this adjustable recessed trim to highlight a stone or brick wall, family photos, a bookcase or a fireplace; to add task light above a desk or a kitchen island; or to build layers of light in a living room or a home theatre. In commercial spaces, it suits boutiques, showrooms, galleries, restaurants and hotel lobbies where products and décor must stand out. A row of trims along a hallway or a feature wall gives a balanced, even effect.

Choosing the finish
The same gimbal trim is offered in several finishes. Flat white is the most discreet on a matte white ceiling, while the black 4" MR16 gimbal trim creates a modern contrast or blends into a dark or exposed ceiling. To clean, wipe with a soft, dry cloth with the power off and the lamp cool, and avoid abrasive cleaners that could mark the powder coat.
