A trim that does the styling workThe SHADE Mini 4" trims are a surface mount trim/baffle combination made for use with SLIMLED PLUS and SLIMLED MULTI fixtures. In other words, the light engine stays the same and the trim decides how the ceiling reads. This version pairs a black trim ring with a semi-specular baffle insert, a finish that has a soft brushed-metal shimmer inside the aperture rather than a mirror shine. It is a favourite on projects where the designer wants the
pot light to disappear into a dark ceiling, or where a builder wants one fixture platform and several trim looks across a single job.
Construction and finishesConstruction is durable dead front plastic with a magnetic steel ring, and the assembly comprises a trim ring with an insert baffle. The dead front face means the surface you see from below is a clean, non-conductive finished ring. The SHADE Mini family is available in a variety of colour combinations — round or square shape, White or Black trim finish, and White, Semi-Specular, Specular or Gold baffle finish — with the notes that a Black baffle is not available with a White trim finish, and a White baffle is not available with a Black trim finish. This SKU is the Round shape with BK trim and SS baffle.

Installation and compatibilityInstallation is about as simple as lighting gets: position the trim over the installed 4" downlight and let the magnetic steel ring pull it into place. No screws, no torsion springs, no repainting a ceiling to hide a mismatched flange, and no tools to lose in the attic. Because it comes off just as easily, it is ideal for rental units, staged homes and commercial spaces where the finish may change later. Confirmed compatible fixtures include the
Slimled Plus SLM4-12W-CCT-WH 4" colour selectable downlight, the
Slimled Plus SLM4-12W-DTW-WH, and the
Slimled Multi 4" 8W retrofit fixture, listed as SLMT4-8W, along with the high output SLMT4-8W-xxK-HO version. Accessories are sold separately.
Where it works and what to readThink kitchens, hallways, bathrooms and open-plan basements in a renovation; think retail, cafés, clinics and office corridors in a commercial build; and think covered porches, carports and eave soffits outdoors, since the trim is suitable for wet locations. Mixing finishes is a great trick — black trims over the island, white trims elsewhere — and the rest of the family is one click away with the
Shade Mini 4" round trims in black/gold and the
Shade Mini 4" round trims in white/semi-specular. The full technical PDF for SLM4-RST-BKSS is in the Documentation tab, with the ordering guide, dimensions and finish combinations for your submittal package.
