Outdoor recess light trim

[sparky1118]

I have a customer who has a home right next to the ocean. She has recess lights on her covered porch. I’ve been replacing the trims every few years due to the salt air. Last I checked the supply houses I deal with don’t sell a fiberglass or non metal trim. Has anyone heard of a trim like that?

I recommend a modern LED retro-fit kit. Sealed and nom-metallic.

I can only find the metallic ones. Halo and Juno are metallic.

The shower trims I have used in the past were plastic, Halo's if I remember correctly.

I think Juno makes them too.

Satco makes non metallic LED trims. Also Nicor.

Issue being the recess lights I’m dealing with are 4” recess. I see they do have nonmetallic in 5”-6” but nothing smaller. I have spoken to the Juno rep and he said they don’t make anything that small yet in nonmetallic. I don’t understand why but I will have to figure something out. Thank you for the help everyone

An alternative is to sand blast the aluminum trims and have them powder coated. It works well on the baffle trims.

Aren't a majority of them powder coated aluminum when they are new?

Depending upon the brand and manufacturing location, some are painted.
