4. Setup and Installation

Installation of this recessed light trim requires an existing compatible recessed housing (not included). It is strongly recommended that installation be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with all electrical codes.

  1. Prepare the Area: Ensure the power to the circuit where the light will be installed is turned OFF at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
  2. Verify Housing Compatibility: Confirm that your recessed housing is compatible with a 6-inch aperture trim. The TM616WH trim has an 8-1/4 inch outer diameter and a 5-1/8 inch aperture.
  3. Install the Lamp: Before installing the trim into the housing, insert an A19 120V lamp (bulb) into the socket of the recessed housing. Ensure the wattage does not exceed 40W for IC (Insulation Contact) rated housings or 60W for Non-IC rated housings.
  4. Secure the Trim: Carefully align the trim with the recessed housing. Most trims use torsion springs or friction clips to secure themselves within the housing. Gently push the trim upwards until it sits flush with the ceiling surface.
  5. Restore Power: Once the trim is securely in place, restore power to the circuit at the breaker or fuse box.
  6. Test Operation: Turn on the light switch to verify proper operation.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your light fixture. Always disconnect power before performing any maintenance.

  • Cleaning: To clean the trim and glass diffuser, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the finish or glass.

    1. Turn off power to the fixture at the circuit breaker.
    2. Carefully pull down the trim from the recessed housing to access the bulb.
    3. Unscrew the old A19 bulb and replace it with a new one of the same type and wattage (max 40W for IC, 60W for Non-IC).
