Abstract
A luminaire includes a light module body and a trim attachment mechanism. The trim attachment mechanism includes a first lever with a first cam on a first side of the light module body and a second lever with a second cam on a second side of the light module body. The first lever and the second lever can both be rotated between a release position that releases and attached trim and an engage position that engages an attached trim. The luminaire can also include a mounting bracket mechanism with a recess circumscribing the light module body and a pair of notches on opposite sides. Torsion spring brackets can be shaped to rotate freely in the recess, whereas friction blade brackets are secured in the notches so that the friction blades do not rotate relative to the light module body.
