An all-white reflector trimThe HV4-TH4002-WH is a
reflector trim for 4-inch recessed lighting, finished in white from the reflector to the trim ring. It is the most discreet version of this series: once installed in a white ceiling, it reads as a simple, clean circle, with nothing to distract from your décor. That makes it a favourite for builders, property managers and homeowners who want a neutral finish that works in every room.
Choosing a bulbThis trim is designed for a
P20 bulb with a 50W rating. Opt for an
LED P20 bulb to reduce heat, extend the time between bulb changes and use much less energy than halogen. For task areas such as kitchens, laundry rooms and home offices, a neutral or cool white keeps things crisp; in bedrooms and living rooms, a warm white feels more relaxing.
Installation stepsThe trim is added after a qualified person has installed and wired the
4-inch recessed housing. Turn off the power at the panel, make sure the housing is compatible with this trim series, install the bulb and push the trim up until the white ring rests flush against the ceiling. Swapping old, yellowed trims for this fresh white finish is also a fast upgrade for existing
recessed lights in a renovation or before selling a home.
White, black or chrome?Pick the white reflector for the most discreet, bright result. The same reflector trim also exists in black, for modern contrast and less visible glare, and in chrome, for a polished decorative accent. If you prefer a ribbed baffle, a baffle trim of the same size exists in white, matte white and black. To aim light at art, cabinets or a fireplace, choose the
4-inch gimbal trim in brushed brass.
Simple maintenanceWith the power off and the bulb cool, dust the reflector and ring with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive products that could dull or mark the white finish. With an LED bulb installed, your ceiling lights stay bright and clean for years with almost no upkeep.
