Features for recessed lighting fixtures

A light fixture, comprising:

• a housing for receiving and holding a lighting module comprising a light source;
• and
• a torsion spring receiver coupled to the housing and comprising:
• a backstop comprising a substantially straight edge;
• a first torsion spring bracket disposed on a first side of the backstop for receiving a first portion of a torsion spring, the first torsion spring bracket comprising:
• a first inner edge extending out orthogonally from the straight edge and curving to extend further from the straight edge at a first acute angle with respect to the straight edge;
• and
• a first retaining tab comprising a first curved edge that extends from the end of the first inner edge opposite the straight edge to form a first area for receiving the first portion;
• and
• a second torsion spring bracket disposed on the first side of the backstop for receiving a second portion of the torsion spring, the second torsion spring bracket comprising:
• a second inner edge extending out orthogonally from the straight edge and curving to extend further from the straight edge at a second acute angle with respect to the straight edge;
• and
• a second retaining tab comprising a second curved edge that extends from the end of the second inner edge opposite the straight edge to form a second area for receiving the second portion.

A downlight luminaire, comprising:

• a housing for receiving and holding a lighting module comprising a light source;
• and
• at least one torsion spring receiver coupled to the housing, each torsion spring receiver comprising:
• a backstop comprising a substantially straight edge;
• a first torsion spring receiver portion disposed on a first side of the backstop and comprising a first edge that extends at a first acute angle from the straight edge to a first inner hook-shaped edge, the first torsion spring receiver portion for receiving a first portion of a torsion spring of the lighting module;
• and
• a second torsion spring receiver portion disposed on the first side and comprising a second edge that extends at a second acute angle from the straight edge to a second inner hook-shaped edge, the second torsion spring receiver portion for receiving a second portion of the torsion spring.

A light fixture, comprising:

• a housing for receiving and holding a lighting module comprising a light source;
• and
• at least one torsion spring receiver coupled to the housing, each torsion spring receiver comprising:
• a backstop comprising a substantially straight edge;
• a first torsion spring receiver portion disposed on a first side of the backstop and comprising a first edge that extends from the substantially straight edge to a first inner hook-shaped edge, the first torsion spring receiver portion for receiving a first portion of a torsion spring of the lighting module;
• and
• a second torsion spring receiver portion disposed on the first side and comprising a second edge that extends from the substantially straight edge to a second inner hook-shaped edge, the second torsion spring receiver portion for receiving a second portion of the torsion spring,
• wherein the first inner hook-shaped edge is positioned at a greater distance orthogonally from the substantially straight edge than the second inner hook-shaped edge.
