Claim:
An apparatus for installing a downlight module, the apparatus comprising: a recessed light fixture housing; 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 the recessed light fixture 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 material strip is positioned inside the recessed light fixture housing, and wherein the first torsion spring receiver and the second torsion spring receiver are at an angle ranging from about 170 to 190 degrees apart once the rear surface is coupled to the inner surface of the recessed light fixture housing and wherein the angle corresponds to a positioning of at least two torsion springs located on the downlight module.
