Need a little help to determine if something exists... 2 weeks ago I went to get some cans for the recessed lighting in the stairwell. Guy at the electrical supply house showed me this wicked slick LED Fixture which appears to be a normal can fixure from the outside, BUT it mounts in a normal/plastic 4" Round cieling box. VERY nice...I didnt think twice about it at the time but now I'm thinking thats what I'd like to go with, BUT...I'd need 2 of them which are eyeball style. Apparently they dont exist from what he said...I just find it hard to believe they truly dont exist.

Plan B is what other kind of lighting can I/should I use in the stairwell? I suppose I could always just box it out and make it so those normal fixtures mount level, just a bit more work.

Track lighting is never a bad option in the stairwell. It gives the ability to illuminate pieces on the wall..ie; pictures and such.

Does it truly have to be an eyeball or is it sufficient that you can adjust angle. I know there are tons of adjustable spots that don't retrofit into can. Plus I googled and came up with this without looking hard at all. but maybe i misunderstand what you need

I guess maybe my naming was causing the issue? It doesnt have to be an eyeball at all...I assumed eyeball meant I could adjust angle. I'd just like to mount the boxes & fixtures flush with the cieling which is at an angle following the stairs...I'd like the lighting to point straight down. Thats all...

Lots of those. just led spotlights. look at my soffit install. those angle and are like 2" deep and were 20 bucks and there are plenty of others that do.

Hmmm, OK so set me straight in my terminology...I always "Assumed" that Spotlight meant a focused beam of light for lack of better terms, and an eyeball was a fixture for a floodlight?

Using that logic, I bypassed any light that said spotlight on the packaging or descripion under the assumption it would just illuminate a focused area in my stairwell.
