hey guys, i want to put pot lights in my garage. and for about 10x24 foot section i have a floor above in the attic area. 2x4 trusses. its right where i need to put some of the lights. do you guys think i could cut the pots down far enough like in the video
to get those ones to at least fit with that shallow cavity..? the rest would just be left normal..
unless someone knows of some shallow type of setup that would work for a 2x4 space.. thanks.

They are 1100 lumens @11 watts, which is almost double the output of a normal 6" can.
There's a gallery on their website.

ya i was just their looking at lights. cheapest one that will go in a J box is about 40$.. so if you wouldn't mind sending me a link so i could see what ones you used.. thanks.

Also how many of these do you think would have good lighting, the area im working with is 23 deep, 19 wide. roughly.. i was thinking 9 to 16..? 3x3 pattern or 4x4 pattern..
