Q:Can these be mounted above a drywall ceiling with no attachment to studs or framing, similar to old work cans?
by|May 4, 2023
4 Answers
Answer This Question

A:  No, buy LED waffle lights 

by|Aug 10, 2023

    A:  Thank you for your inquiry. This item is a new construction housing that has to be nailed into the joist before the drywall ceiling is installed. A remodeled housing is recommended to install a recessed can above a drywall ceiling.

    by|May 5, 2023

      A:  No, they won't stay expanded by themselves, you need to secure to stud or joist.

      by|May 11, 2023

        A:  No, these need to secured to the rafter, or truss. You have to use the old work style with the flange and clips. Better yet, use the led canless fixtures. They are really easy to install

              A:  This housing fits a standard bulb

              by|Nov 10, 2022

                A:  I have used the commercial Electric sold at HD Model #NS01aA11FR1-259 with these but any 5/6-inch will work that includes the screw in adapter.

                  A:  Thank you very much for your inquiry, These are just cans and do not include trims. You can use any trim that fits in 6 inch cans.

                      With a lower profile than the standard fixture this works great with joists that are less than 2x12 and will fit in 2X8 framing. The airtight housing works well and the "safe for insulation contact" is a comforting safety measure. It is very easy to install and the quick connector for the electrical connection works great and saves time and effort. I have used these before at my house and clients and I do recommend them.

                      We redid some of the plumbing in our house which required us to remove part of the downstairs ceiling to gain access to the pipes. This was the perfect time to install the recessed lighting that we wanted and these were the perfect price for a 6-pack. We were able to get all of these installed in no time and they wired up with ease. They function as you would expect and we have had no issues so far with daily use for about 2 years now.
