Since you are saying new construction with arc faults, is this standard residential with romex? Or Assisted living or similar with conduit or M/C cable?

If everything is wired correctly you should not have problems, however there have been instances with Halo cans that have caused problems with afci. In particular is the H99ICT cans. I am thinking that Hlo has addressed this issue since it been a few years since the initial problems occurred.

I had more trouble with the compact fluorescent lights in the h99 cans. They did not like them. If you screwed them in too far it would short out-- I do hope they fixed it also.
if ALL of the connections are done right and if the NM cable is installed properly without any damage, then you won't have any trouble with the AFCI.
Except one or two occasions, I have always installed JUNO, IMO it seems a better constructed material than the other ones and never had any trouble with JUNO.

I believe the best location is right here. There are more experienced individuals with practical experience, and no bias towards a particular manufacturer, than any other location on the web.
