Square Trimless Recessed Lighting

11 years ago

I am trying to get a square trimless recessed led lighting fixture in order to get a look like the one in the attached photo. However everything I find appear to be very expensive - exceeding $350 for one fixture. The products I looked at were from companies like WAC lighting (Aether), PureLighting (Aurora) and Tech Lighting (Element).

While I like the products I researched, the cost is prohibitive. I was wondering if there are any more economical alternatives which can give me the look I want (square trimless in 3", 4" or 5" sizes)?

The application is general downlighting in the living room, family room and kitchen.

Thanks,
Jay

One of your biggest challenges may be installation. Trusses would usually prevent a recessed mounting going in both directions...along and across. Also an installation like the one pictured would need considerable drywall finishing after the light channels are installed. I would think that cost could easily exceed the fixture costs you quoted. Good luck finding something, it's a nice effect if you can figure it out!

Thanks rainmaking: For the lines, there is a product by PureLighting called TruLine-1.6 which is only about 1/2" to 5/8" deep and fits into the drywall. That product is already going to cost me a bit - So I am trying to save on the square trimless recessed lights inside the rectangular region. The immediate results from google point to products from TechLighting, PureLighting and WAC lighting which are all pretty expensive - about $600 per fixture. So I am looking for economical alternatives.

Any luck in your search? I understand these are also called 'mud-in' cans. Seems like a small standard can light (without the trim kit) could be used in some fashion to achieve that look. I am also after a very commercial look and think that would be outstanding.

Thoughts?
