Abstract
A recessed lighting fixture, comprising a non-metallic housing having a central opening adapted to receive an LED lamp therethrough. The housing is formed of a front-facing trim ring surrounding the central opening and a rear portion coupled to a rear of the trim ring about the LED lamp. The rear portion includes at least two peripheral flanges that extend backward from the trim ring and terminate in a spring-clip support. A spring clip is coupled to each of the spring clip supports and is rotatably biased toward a front of the housing to bear against a backside of a recessed opening when the housing is inserted into the recessed opening and when the trim ring bears against a frontside of the recessed opening.
