Recessed Troffer LED questions

[machsnell]

Hello to all, i am trying to install lights in my garage and want and need to use LED.

i want to use a recessed troffer size 1x4 or 18"x4' to fit in between the trusses.

I like the clean flush look.

I am getting ceiling sprayed with sprayfoam. There is an attic but covered with plywood. can the led lights be put into a drywall box with some air around it and be ok? not sure how much air is needed around a light like this?

i am looking for any suggestions that would be in the sub 200 ideally 100 range that would be 4000 lumens or so

Am i better off just getting a flourescent troffer and getting a ballast or driver type swap out and putting in the LED t8 replacements?

i have looked and this has been a tough find. especially knowing if its possible to mount in a ceiling with insulation.

Thanks in advance....

I cant help you with Leds but would like to know my self as i have to buy 8 more troffers and i thought the Leds might be a better up grade. i currently have 2 1'x'4 fluorescent in drywall/plywood boxes with 18" of blown in insulation over them and have had no issues.

I have done a lot of research and panel led's seem like the way to go. No space and flush/recessed mount. Enviroasis has 1 x 4 w 4000 or so lumens. For 130 bucks.
