Abstract:
1. An apparatus for installing a downlight module in a recessed housing, the apparatus comprising: a material strip comprising a front surface and a rear surface; a first torsion spring receiver positioned on the material strip at a first location, the first torsion spring receiver extending inwardly from the front surface; a second torsion spring receiver positioned on the material strip at a second location different from the first location, the second torsion spring receiver extending inwardly from the front surface; and a coupling means for coupling the material strip to an inner surface of a recessed housing, wherein the coupling means comprises one or more slots positioned along a length of the material strip, the one or more slots providing a passageway through the material strip, wherein the first torsion spring receiver and the second torsion spring receiver are positioned on the material strip apart from each other by an angle ranging from about 170 to 190 degrees and wherein the angle corresponds to a positioning of at least two torsion springs located on a downlight module.
