Trim color to eliminate hot spots?

13 years ago

I am going to try a few CR6's when they start shipping... they have optional trims "Diffuse anodized", "Wheat diffuse anodized" and "Black diffuse anodized"... which of these is best at eliminating hot spots, glare and making the lights blend into a white ceiling from across the room?

I know the CR6s are not out there yet, but similar color trims are available for LR6 and plain old cans... so I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction for which trim will be best.
