Package Contents
Verify that all components are present before beginning installation:
- HALO Recessed 1945 4-Inch Trim Metropolitan Frosted Glass
- Positive lock retaining strap
Note: Recessed housing (e.g., H1499 family) is sold separately.
Setup and Installation
- Prepare the Housing: Ensure the 4-inch recessed housing (H1499 family) is properly installed and wired according to its own instructions and local electrical codes.
- Disconnect Power: Turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box to avoid electrical shock.
- Attach Retaining Strap: Secure the positive lock retaining strap to the recessed housing. This strap helps hold the trim in place.
- Insert Trim: Carefully insert the HALO 1945 trim into the recessed housing. The three barb springs on the trim will engage with the housing to secure it.
- Secure Trim: Gently push the trim upwards until it sits flush with the ceiling surface. The barb springs will hold it firmly.
- Restore Power: Once the trim is securely installed, restore power at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
The oversized ring of the trim is designed to expand coverage, effectively concealing ceiling gaps or minor cut-out errors around the housing.
Operating Instructions
The HALO 1945 trim functions as a decorative and light-diffusing component for your recessed lighting system. Once installed, its operation is dependent on the connected recessed housing and light source.
- Light Source: This trim is compatible with 12-Volt low voltage light sources, typically LED, installed within the H1499 family recessed housing.
- Switching: The light will turn on and off via the wall switch or dimmer connected to the recessed housing's electrical circuit.
- Dimming: If a dimmable light source and compatible dimmer switch are used with the recessed housing, the trim will diffuse the light accordingly.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and appearance of your HALO 1945 trim.
- Cleaning: To clean the frosted glass and trim, ensure power is off. Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch the finish or glass.
- Bulb Replacement: Refer to the instructions for your specific recessed housing and light source for bulb replacement procedures. Always disconnect power before replacing bulbs.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the trim for any signs of damage or loose connections. If any issues are found, disconnect power and address them or consult a qualified electrician.
Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your recessed lighting trim.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Trim is not flush with ceiling. | Barb springs not fully engaged or housing not properly installed. | Gently push the trim firmly into the housing until the barb springs fully engage. Ensure the housing itself is securely mounted. |
| Light is not working. | Power off, faulty bulb, or wiring issue in the housing. | Check circuit breaker. Replace bulb (refer to housing manual). Inspect wiring connections (with power off). This trim is a passive component and does not contain electrical circuitry. |
