Trim retention assemblies for recessed luminaires

A recessed luminaire mounted to a structure, the recessed luminaire comprising:

• a housing comprising a housing wall that forms a cavity therein;
• a trim assembly comprising a trim and a retention device coupling feature disposed on the trim collar;
• and
• a trim retention assembly comprising:
• a retention device anchor disposed in the cavity of the housing;
• a retention device retaining feature disposed in the cavity of the housing;
• and
• a retention device disposed in the cavity of the housing, wherein the retention device comprises a luminaire anchor, a resilient feature, a luminaire retention feature, and a trim coupling feature, wherein the luminaire anchor is coupled to the retention device anchor, wherein the trim coupling feature is coupled to the retention device coupling feature, wherein the resilient feature has a loaded position and an unloaded position, wherein the retention device retaining feature holds the resilient feature in the loaded position by engaging the luminaire retention feature, wherein the luminaire retention feature is in the form of a protrusion or shelf formed from at a bottom of the resilient feature and above the trim coupling feature, thereby allowing the trim coupling feature to become coupled to the retention device coupling feature, and wherein the resilient feature pulls the trim against the structure when resilient feature is in the unloaded position, wherein the luminaire retention feature is disengaged with the retention device retaining feature when the resilient feature is in the unloaded position.
