Collection: Recessed Light Goof Rings

A goof ring (also called a trim ring or goof plate) is a thin decorative bezel that covers irregular or oversized ceiling cutouts around a recessed light, creating a clean, finished edge.

Use one when the drywall hole is too large, slightly off-center, chipped, or when a new trim won’t fully cover the existing cutout from a previous fixture.

No. Goof rings sit on the ceiling surface and don’t block the aperture. They simply extend the visible trim diameter to hide imperfections.

Match the goof ring to your trim size (e.g., for a 6" trim, choose a 6" ring). Check the ring’s inner and outer diameters to ensure it fits over your trim and covers the cutout.

Common finishes include white, black, bronze, nickel, and paintable options. Choose a finish that matches or complements your recessed trim and ceiling.
