Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) retrofit downlight light module (DLM) having a housing with an LED downlighting module containing a lighting exit port and connected to a reflector and trim ring having an illumination outlet. The DLM is inserted into an access hole after the existing fixture has been removed. By inserting the DLM into the access hole, a retention device compresses on contact with the entry surface surrounding the hole perimeter. Subsequent to the pivot point of the retention device passing the first surface, the retention device begins to apply a frictional force to the hole perimeter, thereby retaining the DLM within the access hole, without need of tools during installation.
