Questions & Answers
Can I use led lights in this can or do I need a different housing . If so which one will work. Thanks David K.
Asked by Tatanka49 April 20, 2016The CommunityAnswer from April 2016 may be correct, though the housing product description says "Compatible with a wide variety of 6 in. LED retrofit trims but is best with Halo quality RL, RA, SLD, LT, SMD and ML series models (Bulb free with some having a 45 year LED lifespan)". I bought the Model # LT560WH6950R and I have not been able to fit it into this housing no matter what I try. The housing is already installed so I guess I'll try to find another LED retrofit trim. Maddening waste of time.
Can I use 14/2 Romex on these housing or does it have to be 12? I saw the junction box stated 4 max conductor no. 12Awg
Asked by KC August 2, 2017Yes...14 gauge wire is fine as long as it's protected by a 15 amp breaker.
What size hole saw do i need ?
Asked by Lb November 8, 2017Though you can use the template provide and cut with a hand saw the best is a 6'' diameter hole saw setup. Just take your time doing the layout to avoid contact with beams and existing wiring.
Can these be dimmed?
Asked by Jordan January 20, 2016This item does not have anything to do with current draw, or dimming capability. The load that is installed into this item would determine whether or not you can use a dimmer, and what size wire would be needed.
is this an insulated houseing?
Asked by jboccia2 November 22, 2015No, it's just an aluminum shell. I just installed one this past week.
are these safe to use in bathroom ceilings?
Asked by sam December 31, 2016Yes, but invest the money in an LED light/trim. it makes the recess can ok for wet locations. The unit is made of all aluminum anyway. Be smart and also get a dimmer for LED to help save money on your electric bill. You can get it all at Home Depot.
Is it ok to run 14/2 or 14/3 awg to recessed lighting on a 20a breaker?
Asked by Bob August 3, 2017No...14 gauge wire is only rated for 15 amps per the NEC.
Which type of junction box cover should I buy to go with the H27? I bought two units, and was sur...
Asked by DS January 7, 2018Don, the housing comes with a junction box attached with cover (I am looking at it right now at the picture of it with knock outs and a cover). You simply connect your wire through the junction box knock outs into the quick connect recepticles and re-attach the cover. Enjoy!
CAN YOU USE THIS HOUSING FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION ?
Asked by CSP93Q June 4, 2018You can, but you'd be better off with a new construction version that you put up before the drywall goes in.
How many cans can I have in one series or circuit?
Asked by BuckSgt94 September 7, 2016It depends on the wattage of the bulb. If you use LED, for example, calculate the wattage and make sure your dimmer can handle the load as well.
