They're made of medium duty metal, aluminum I believe; and I don't recall any flexibility in the trim, nor gaps if the ceiling is flat.

I didn't have the bend problem. I do wonder, though, how well does the loose glass prevent the bathroom mist get into the light bulb cavity?

I installed six of these on my outdoor patio and they all rest neatly against the ceiling with no gaps or bending. They're high quality and a great purchase for sure.

The Fresnal Shower Metal Trim does not bend when mounted. The trim is made of metal and does not bend as a plastic trim may bend.

no they don't. the trim is not at all flimsy, the lens is glass. i ordered 25 of these didn't have problems with any.

These are fantastic compared to the plastic ones. well worth the exchange. The mount easily and put out twice the light than the plastic ones. Best price also. Earlene Corpus Christi, Texas

No they do not bend because they are metal. There is a removable gasket that fills the gap between the ring and the ceiling.

No....they only bend like a watch band. They sale some led lights where u can make a circle. Alittle more expensive but worth what ur looking for.

As a female i had one of the rings bend out of shape a little with me pulling against them...assuming he is stronger than i am it could be an issue.

They do bend but not nearly as easily as the smallest ones do. There is a hard wire in the middle of all of them and the purple/gray rods have the most cushion for bigger curls but that's what makes it a little tougher.

I have six set's of lights and I haven't had any issues with them. I did notice that when you are attaching one set to another it helps to loosen the plastic collars and slide them out of the way. This allows you to see that the male and female connectors are in all the way before you screw them back together.

No. The tab is bent quite a bit, and the ring pretty much locks together. At one point, I had to remove the valve I was putting in, and once I cut the ring away with a Dremel, these things were so tight that the valve was deformed enough to where I had even buy a new valve (not a huge deal, but I consider them PERMANENT).

These are flat strips with one sticky side, like the previous user answered. They bend pretty well, I mounted two strips to the ceiling of my basement to light up at night. The only issues I've had have been bending around 90° corners is a challenge (can't do sharp corners, had to round out the lights in those spots) and the sticky side has come off my walls a few times, but I think it is because of the paint on the basement walls. To fix this, I used sticky Command poster strips and those seem to do the trick.

I'm going to guess yes because I just took mine down to move and there is a circular ring from the rubber where my pole was even though my ceiling was smooth..It depends on what kind of texture you are talking about too because remember,that pole is going to be tight to your ceiling under a stud so your choices of a mounting spot are limited to that as well.You definatly want it to be tight and level most of all for safety.Definatly leveling is important.

The ring is supposed to remain stationary. Only the black metal base should move. I also double check my depth or radius with a measuring tape.

All parts of it that make contact are flat. It has a slight upwards indentation in the outer most diameter of the ring, but the center circle goes down to the same level of the edges flatly. I guess the profile of the bottom is sorta like this: l\___/l. Hope that makes sense!

It slides well enough for me, I have never had to fight with it. I don't think anything would slide perfectly seamlessly when going from the thinner end of the rod to the bigger end but these work fine for me, 100x better than the plastic rings I used before! I would recommend them.

I only use them with stylus' that have predrilled hole in the end, have NEVER had the ring come loose, break or bend. Mine are used in rough areas where the stylus get banged around a fair amount...the tether gets caught in drawers, doors etc and NEVER had one break or rip.

The rings don't come off of the bar. But they don't seem to get in the way when using just the bar.

Hi!For your version you do not need to use the rings - please see this link belowhttp://69.20.60.26/DIAGRAMS/VIEW_DIAGRAM.aspx?ID=283Thank you!

They can bend, but only ever so slightly. I had a bulb break when I tried to force the prongs into a slightly off-center slot.

Spring like but will bend with gravity. It will not hold a specific radius bend.

Good question! In theory, the first answer by Leslie sounds good. I bought 12 of these, and they are a b!t%# to put back into the "pot". The metal cylinder with the 3 square holes you see stays in the ceiling, the decorative rim comes off. However, the 3 little tension clamps just above the rim will often not stay put. They rotate, since they are screwed on. I have 4 of the 12 which just won't stay put flush against the ceiling at all. I will never buy these again, and I am actually looking here today to replace them.
