Best 6" Can Lights & LED fixture for drop ceilings?

[weatherby460]

I am installing can lights in a new basement and want to make sure I purchase the correct type that I need. I was also told some LED fixtures don't fit in drop ceilings all the time nice and flush. Any advice?

I like the Philips Slim Surface lights. You can google it. There are many manufacturers of this style to choose from. They mount to an electrical box. They're really thin and give the appearance of a downlighting can. They come in various sizes, colors and shapes.
Good luck

I got a crazy deal at Costco yesterday. Feit 75w retro kit 2pk after instant rebate was $2.99! Regular price was $16.99.

Home depot sells the trims for 3 for $10. Work great. The can you just need a new work can,any of them clip onto the grid

16 - LED 65Watt equivalent on 15 amp breaker...will that be ok?

Probably less than 10 watts each, so 160 watts. A 15A breaker is theoretically good for 1800 watts, although you shouldn't use more than 80%, I think. In other words, you've got plenty of capacity.

I prefer the 4" cans. They look way less obtrusive then the 6". They still give off plenty of light.
