SATCO Lighting 80-946 4in Goof Ring for Remote Driver Installation

A goof ring is a trim ring that hides an oversized or damaged ceiling cutout when a downlight or retrofit fixture is smaller than the hole in the drywall. The Satco 80-946 is the 4 inch version, made for remote driver installations where the driver sits outside the housing. It has an inner diameter of 4.38 inches, so it slips over a 4 inch nominal trim and laps onto the ceiling around it. It is not a light source or a driver, just the cover ring.

Depends on how far out the damage goes. The 80-946 has a 4.38 inch inner diameter, so anything inside that circle is left open, and the ring only conceals the ceiling outward from there. Measure the widest point of your cutout first: if the opening is larger than the ring's outside coverage, the ring won't hide it and you'll need drywall patching instead. For a clean 4 inch nominal hole that got chewed up slightly at the edges, this is the right part.

Not automatically. The 80-946 is called out for remote driver installations because those retrofits often go into openings cut for older, larger housings, leaving a gap around the new smaller trim. If your 4 inch trim already covers the ceiling cutout cleanly, you don't need the ring. Order it when the hole is oversized or the edges are torn.

Satco 80-946, also printed as 80/946 on the packaging. That is the 4 inch goof ring in white for remote driver installations. Order by that number to get the 4 inch size rather than the other diameters in the family.
