A flush lighting system includes a support ring for attachment, typically to the underside surface, of a lighting fixture containment space, and a finishing ring which can lockably engage the support ring, either directly using threaded members, or by the use of raised dimples on the support ring which interfits with a groove on the finishing ring. The finishing ring preferably contains apertures and radius grooves for accommodating plaster or dry wall compound. A raised abbreviated radial width inner surface transition lies at the inner most portion of the face of the finishing ring. Inside the raised transition and extending axially is an engagement structure for mating with the support ring, through either a groove or apertures for threaded attachment against a radially outwardly existing axial surface of the support ring. The aforementioned system works well with an additional fixture engagement structure which typically lies within the lighting fixture and for which an additional holding structure provides some engagement to the lighting fixture, and particularly a structure which contemplates a fixture which mounts flush with the surrounding ceiling or wall and the finishing ring.
