Give your recessed step lights a finished, glare-free face with the RT05 louver trim in black. Sold under SKU LS-RT05-LVR-BK, this LumenstarLED accessory is the matching faceplate — also called a louvre trim, trim ring or bezel — made for the RT05 screwless step light platform. It snaps the look together: instead of an open recessed opening staring back at you, you get a clean, structured black face that shields the eye from the source while letting the light wash down where you want it. Contractors searching for a black recessed trim or an encastré noir look for stairs, corridors and soffits will recognize this one right away.

This trim is engineered exclusively for the LumenstarLED RT05HV (high-voltage) and RT05LV (low-voltage) light engines, so the mechanical fit is exact and the finished face sits flush with the ceiling or wall plane. The RT05 platform it completes is a screwless step light rated IP67 with a CRI >90, 145 lumens of output, an operating range of -20°C to +45°C, a 12" (30 cm) wire lead and c ETL us Listed certification, backed by a 3-year warranty. The RT05 fixture body measures L120 x W74 x H38 mm (L4 11/16 x W2 7/8 x H1 1/2") and drops into a 4-3/4" × 2-7/8" (121 × 73 mm) cutout, so the louver face keeps that same tidy rectangular footprint. Black is one of the three RT05 trim colours offered, alongside brushed nickel and white.

Where does it shine? Stairwells and stair risers, hallway baseboards, hotel corridors, restaurant entries, gallery walls, office lobbies and upscale basements — anywhere direct glare at ankle or eye level would ruin the mood. The matte-black face is the right call for dark ceilings, exposed structure, black soffits and contemporary minimalist interiors, and it hides the opening beautifully in Canadian outdoor soffit and deck applications where the IP67 RT05 engine earns its keep through freeze-thaw seasons. Order one louver trim per RT05HV or RT05LV light engine, keep a few spares on multi-unit jobs, and every opening on the project will read the same. Pick your black louver trims now and finish the job the way it was drawn.

Light engine sold separately
This trim does not include the light engine. It fits the RT05 light engines installed in a standard single gang junction box: LS-RT05HV-3K, LS-RT05HV-4K, LS-RT05HV-MS-3K, LS-RT05LV-3K, LS-RT05LV-RGBW. Count one trim per engine.

Built to complete the RT05 platform
The LS-RT05-LVR-BK is not a universal bezel — it is the dedicated louver trim for the LumenstarLED RT05 screwless step light family, made to mate with the RT05HV and RT05LV light engines. "Screwless" is the whole point of this system: the trim covers the opening with no visible fasteners on the face, so the installed fixture reads as a single clean rectangle rather than a collection of parts. The louver blades across the aperture do two jobs at once. Visually, they give the opening structure and depth instead of a flat bright rectangle. Optically, they cut the direct view of the light source, so people walking a stair or a corridor see the lit surface, not the emitter.

Light quality and comfort
The RT05 engine this trim dresses delivers 145 lumens with a CRI greater than 90, which means skin tones, wood treads, stone and paint colours stay true under it — a real difference in galleries, hospitality spaces and finished basements. Colour temperature options on the platform include 3000K warm white and 4000K natural white, plus RGB and RGBW versions, and the engines are dimmable. Because the louver shields the aperture, you keep that high-CRI light on the floor and off people's eyes, which is exactly what you want in low-level lighting where fixtures sit at knee or ankle height.

Installation and electrical notes
Plan the rough-in around the 4-3/4" × 2-7/8" (121 × 73 mm) cutout and confirm which engine the job calls for before ordering trims: the RT05HV runs at 100V AC while the RT05LV runs at 12V AC/DC and needs a suitable low-voltage supply upstream. Each engine ships with a 12" (30 cm) wire lead, so position junction boxes or driver runs accordingly. The IP67 rating and the -20°C to +45°C operating range mean the RT05 can go outdoors on soffits, stair risers and retaining walls as well as indoors — the louver trim simply gives that outdoor opening a discreet black face instead of a bright white one. One trim per light engine; order matching quantities so nothing holds up final trim-out.

Applications and documentation
Think condo stairwells, multi-unit corridors, restaurant entry steps, hotel hallways, retail thresholds, home theatre aisles and exterior deck stairs. On dark ceilings, charcoal soffits and exposed black structure, this black louver trim lets the fixture disappear; on light surfaces it becomes a deliberate graphic accent. Because the RT05 is a standardized platform, mixing black louver trims with brushed nickel or white ones across zones is an easy way to code different areas while keeping a single cutout and a single engine on the order.
