ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a recessed lighting fixture having an outwardly extending housing flange about a lower end of the fixture housing and retaining clips mounted to the housing wall. The retaining clips have enlarged ends trapped within the housing and extending through axial slots so as to permit axial movement along the housing wall. Each retaining clip includes a spring arm biased to an open position in which the spring arm extends radially from the housing, part of the upper portion being flexible such that the spring arm can be depressed toward the housing wall. The fixture can thus be installed through a ceiling opening barely larger than the diameter of the housing. An adjusting screw is provided for adjusting the position of the retaining clip axially along the housing wall, which secures the housing in place by clamping the ceiling between the housing flange and the retaining clips.
