Residential Ambient Lighting

Airelight Square 4.0 Mounted with Flush Trim Kit

Attractive lighting is essential in residential home design. Not only does lighting create the ambiance for each room, it enables a range of activities to take place. This living room and dining room were recently renovated. The designer selected Airelight Square 4.0 LED Ceramic Luminaires for general lighting. The remarkably thin Airelight Squares were mounted with Flush Trim Kits to create lighting with a subtle edge, level with the ceiling.

Generous illumination is achieved with unobtrusive fixtures. Airelight Squares are capable of up to 1600 lumens and are dimmable so they may be adjusted to the desired level of lighting.

Airelight Square 4.0 Trim Kits are offered in a variety of styles. Each trim kit is easily installed. Both the Flush and Recessed Trim Kits are available in Black or White. The Mud-In Trim Kit is available in White.
