[Recessed house trim spring sprung]
Many thanks for any leads or ideas.

That's the spring. Thank ya kindly.

If it happened to me, I'd cut a 2x4 an inch shorter than the
height of the light. I'd cut two wooden wedges, borrow
two sledge hammers, and invite a friend over. As long as
you both hit your wedges at the same time, you should be
able to get the housing good and tight.

That would take much longer to explain to SWMBO especially when the "hit
your wedges at the same time" timing was essential to the plan working. No;
I think simply purchasing two springs is a much more sound idea...

Did you try asking your local hardware store where their spring
selection boxes are located? Any reasonably sized hardware store has
a box or two of misc springs along with all their other hardware boxes
of nut, bolts, machine screws, etc.
