Housing · Module · Trim

A three-part system, engineered as one.

Every Elium product shares the same adjustable module and the same trim language. Learn it once and it applies across the whole range.

Why Elium

Quiet ceilings. Consistent recessed lighting.

Six things that hold true across the range, whichever family or size the project calls for.

One optical and mechanical language

The same beam angles, lens compatibility and trim vocabulary carry across 2″, 3″ and 4″, and across residential and commercial families — a project can mix sizes and still read as one ceiling system. Item numbers differ by size and family (heat sink, connectors); the optics and the finished look do not.

Same finished look, any install path

New construction, remodel and retrofit all resolve to the same room-side trim. The install method changes; what the ceiling reads as does not — useful on an addition, a multifamily turnover, or a hospitality renovation done in phases.

Adjustable that can read as fixed

Aiming happens above the trim, in a lockable module — not in a different-looking fixture. Left unadjusted, it reads as fixed. Specify aim where the project needs it; the ceiling plane stays consistent either way.

A focused trim vocabulary

Round or square. Pinhole, bevel or wall wash. Flanged or flangeless. Open, clear, solite or linear lens — linear where wall wash calls for it. White, black, bronze or haze. One clean set, held to on purpose.

Ships quickly

Ships from Los Angeles, California — quickly, with the agent network handling samples, photometrics and submittal packages alongside the order.

Die-cast trim craft

Single-piece die-cast trims hold a tight, consistent reveal — no stamped seams, no visible fasteners, finish-matched across the range.

Optics

Change the beam without changing the fixture.

The patented module accepts secondary optics in the field. If the furniture layout moves after the ceiling closes, the beam angle moves with it — no re-order, no new rough-in.

15° Spot
Aim one at a painting, a sculpture or a stone feature. Tight enough that the object is lit and the wall around it is not.
Pool of light about 2.1 ft across, 8 ft below the fixture.
24° Narrow flood
The grazing angle for a feature wall, a headboard or joinery — wide enough to cover the surface, narrow enough to keep the light off the floor.
Pool of light about 3.4 ft across, 8 ft below the fixture.
36° Flood
The default for general light in a room. On a normal ceiling a row of these overlaps into even light without hot spots underneath.
Pool of light about 5.2 ft across, 8 ft below the fixture.
50° Wide flood
For low ceilings and corridors, where fixtures are close to what they are lighting and a narrower beam would read as a line of bright pools.
Pool of light about 7.5 ft across, 8 ft below the fixture.

Trims

Size, shape and reveal — your call.

Precision single-piece die-cast trims in round or square, flanged or flangeless, at 2″, 3″ and 4″. Flangeless installs mud in flush for a ceiling with no visible hardware at all.

Ceiling details

What it looks like when it's done.

A few of the finish conditions the trim language above actually has to resolve.

Flangeless — Millwork

Flangeless — Millwork

The millwork adapter serves as the cutout template, adjusts to the ceiling’s wood thickness, and lets the trim slide in and out without tools once the finish carpentry is done.

Flangeless — Drywall

Flangeless — Drywall

A slim spackle frame keeps the mud line tight to the aperture; the finished trim shows only the reflector and lens, with no visible ring against the ceiling plane.

Controls

Dimming that behaves at the bottom of the curve.

1% dimming is standard on 0-10V, TRIAC and ELV. Where the application demands it, 0.1% is available. Tunable White adds dual-channel 0-10V and DALI-2 control.
