Trim tapers all the way up to socket area causing an air tight effect. Air-tight trims are great for the following reasons: a) Complies with the California Title 24 Requirements AND your state's local Air Tight / Air Flow Energy Conservation Requirements because it eliminates loss of air flow saving you money in your electrical, heating and air conditioning; b) aesthetics, basically this trim looks much better after the bulb is installed because there is no gap around the bulb which is common with non-air-tight trims; c) Saves you money in labor when installing more that one trim in the same project. Why? Because all bulbs will always be at the exact same height and position. This is impossible with other trims that do not have the snap to socket design. With these others trims, you will have to manually adjust every single bulb to ensure a uniform look. This alone accounts for about an extra 5 to 10 minutes per trim that you will be saving. This particular trim's design allows you to NOT be able to remove it should you need to.
