Recess lights for 2x6?

[Mike951]

Not garage related - but maybe someone on here has some insight. I'm trying to find remodel recess light cans for a sloped ceiling with 2x6 construction(house is a 1956). Does this exist?

Thanks
Mike

Right you are, shallow. Might have to take a trip to the electrical supply to get a real choice over what the home store offers.

They do make shallow cans - the problem is finding a sloped shallow can

 

[Zeke]

so you want this

or this

for a shallow ceiling?

Can't see pics...got a link?

I can see them. Go to Pegasus Lighting and search for sloped ceiling fixtures. They aren't short enough for you though. I just thought if they had those, short ones were out there somewhere.

For Sloped ceilings you can use an eyeball trim, that trims are adjustable so you able o direct the light straight down.

I wouldn't bother with sloped cans,if you must angle them use an eyeball, but it's really not needed unless you have a steep angle. Look for airtight ic rated shallow cans,old work if there's still Sheetrock and new work if no Sheetrock

I agree with you but in many cases eyeball trims give you flexibility and a good solution to control your light angle.

If you wanted to go with LED lights you may be able to find something a lot more shallow.
