Get your recessed lights exactly where the plan says they go — before the drywall ever goes up. The PF314 is a LUMIFARO plaster frame (also called a mounting frame, rough-in frame or new-construction frame) made for super slim LED recessed lighting. If you've ever measured, cut and re-cut a ceiling opening to line up a row of pot lights, this is the accessory that ends that headache. It is the plaster frame listed as an available accessory for the FLP3-8W-30K/40K ultra-thin LED recessed light, so the frame is installed on the joists or on the framing first, the ceiling goes on after, and your LED recessed downlight drops into a perfectly positioned, perfectly round opening.

This is a component, not a light source, so the numbers that matter are the ones on the fixture it serves. The FLP3-8W-30K/40K it supports measures 3 1/2'' dia. x 5/8'' H, needs a 3 1/4'' hole to be drilled, runs on 120 volts at LED 8 watts for 550 lumens, offers 3000K or 4000K selected with a selection button, a 110° beam angle and a CRI greater than 80. That fixture is dimmable, IC and airtight, approved for damp locations, fire rated 2 hours (UL-263), operates from -25° to +45° and carries a 3 years warranty. Using a plaster frame means the layout is set while the framing is still open, spacing stays consistent, and the finished ceiling looks intentional instead of improvised.

Plaster frames earn their keep in new construction and full renovations: basement ceilings, hallways, kitchens, bedrooms, open-concept living rooms, condo projects, offices, clinics, boutiques and restaurant dining rooms — anywhere in Canada where a contractor wants the rough-in done once and done right. Plan your runs with the FLP-EX6-CCT 6 ft extension to reach fixtures further from the junction box, and keep a GF-414-WH goof ring on the truck for oversized or repaired openings elsewhere in the job. Order your PF314 frames with your fixtures and rough in with confidence.

What a plaster frame actually does
The PF314 plaster frame is a rough-in accessory for super slim LED recessed lighting. It mounts in the ceiling structure before the drywall or plaster is installed, holds the exact position of each fixture, and gives the finisher a clean edge to work to. Instead of guessing where a pot light will land once the ceiling is closed, you set the frame on the framing, the ceiling material goes up around it, and the opening is already where it belongs — round, square to the room, and consistent from one fixture to the next across a hallway or a whole basement.

The fixture it is made for
The spec sheet lists the plaster frame PF-314 as an available accessory for the FLP3-8W-30K/40K ultra-slim LED recessed light. That thin LED recessed unit measures 3 1/2'' dia. x 5/8'' H and calls for a 3 1/4'' hole to be drilled, which is the opening the frame is built around. Its integrated junction box measures A: 4 3/4'' / 120 mm, B: 1 1/4'' / 32 mm and C: 2 5/8'' / 67 mm, so plan a little clearance beside the frame for the box and the quick-connect leads.

Wiring, dimming and installation notes
Installation of the ultra-slim fixtures is straightforward: the cable runs from the junction box to the fixture through quick connect push-in terminals — black wire, white wire, green wire — so there is no fishing of separate drivers above the ceiling. Always close the electrical current before connecting a LED device, otherwise the driver will be affected. On dimming, these ultra-slim LED ceiling lights work with most dimmers; since dimmers generally carry a maximum 150-watt rating for LED units, the manufacturer strongly recommends not exceeding 80% of that capacity to avoid flicker at the low end — for example a maximum of 8 6-inch units (120 watts total) or 13 4-inch units (117 watts total) per dimmer. Splitting a large basement or open kitchen onto two circuits is often the simplest fix.

Where to use it, and what goes with it
Use PF314 plaster frames on new builds and gut renovations: basement family rooms, corridors, bedrooms, kitchens, condo units, offices, dental clinics, boutiques and restaurants where a straight, evenly spaced row of LED recessed downlights is part of the design. For runs where the fixture sits away from its junction box, add the FLP-EX6-CCT 6 ft extension, or the FLP-EX6 6 ft extension for the dim-to-warm models. For retrofit work where an old opening is too large, the GF-414-WH goof ring covers it cleanly.
