Consult a qualified electrician if you are unfamiliar with proper electrical wiring connections.
- Do not install this trim with non-compatible recessed housings. Compatibility is specified for Progress 6-inch recessed housings (P87, P187, P83, P88, P82).

3. Components List
Verify that all components are present before beginning installation:
- P8072-28 Recessed Trim (1 unit)
- Product and Installation Sheet (this document)
Note: Recessed housing and incandescent bulb are sold separately.
4. Setup and Installation
This trim is designed for easy installation into compatible 6-inch recessed housings. The trim mounts to the can with a 2-inch by 7-inch leaf spring mechanism, which pulls the trim tightly to the ceiling.
- Turn off Power: Before starting, ensure the power to the circuit is turned off at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
- Prepare Housing: Ensure the recessed housing (e.g., P87, P187) is properly installed in the ceiling according to its own instruction manual.
- Attach Socket: The lamp socket from the recessed housing attaches directly to the trim. This eliminates the need for an adjustable socket mount within the housing. Secure the socket to the designated attachment point on the trim.
- Install Bulb: Screw the appropriate incandescent bulb (up to 250W) into the socket.
- Insert Trim: Carefully push the trim assembly, with the bulb and socket attached, into the recessed housing opening. The leaf springs on the trim will compress and then expand to firmly hold the trim against the ceiling. Apply firm, even pressure until the trim is flush with the ceiling surface.
- Restore Power: Once the trim is securely in place, restore power at the circuit breaker or fuse box and test the light.

5. Operating Instructions
The P8072-28 Recessed Trim operates in conjunction with your installed recessed housing and a compatible incandescent bulb. Operation is controlled via a standard wall switch connected to the lighting circuit.
- Ensure the correct wattage bulb (up to 250W) is installed.
- Use the wall switch to turn the light fixture on or off.
6. Maintenance
The P8072-28 Recessed Trim requires minimal maintenance.
- Cleaning: To clean the trim, ensure power is off. Wipe with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish.
- Bulb Replacement: Turn off power at the circuit breaker. Carefully pull the trim down from the ceiling to access the bulb. Unscrew the old bulb and screw in a new one of the correct type and wattage. Reinsert the trim firmly into the housing.
