Sloped-ceiling, remodel recessed lights, IC rated?

[LarryFine]

Is anyone aware of a remodel sloped-ceiling recessed can made for insulated spaces?

Larger than 6" or otherwise able to accept greater than a 150w bulb would be a plus.

As always, thanx,

Will this do it?

Progress P745-IC
Progress P245-IC.

75w max, though.

It might if it was for sloped ceilings, but thanx.

I've found a couple of 6" models, but they're either non-IC rated at 150w, or IC-rated at 75w.

For the rooms size and ceiling height, we need at least 150w, and we need IC-rated fixtures.

I have never seen an air tite over 150 watt and in fact cans in general are not rated over 150 watt that I know about. Good luck.

The Progress Ltg. P245-TG looks promising.

Now, I need to "cheat" with a high-power reflector CFL.

Anyone know of a 250w-equivalent or higher reflector?

Not so hot, but thanx!

Here is another one.

Better, but I'd need to fashion a reflector inside the can. Thanx again!

I've actually found the 300w-equivalent spiral locally. Still hoping for a reflector.

Just out of curiosity ,what difference does it make if the ceiling is sloped or not??

I have noticed that the trend has been to using larger quantities of smaller fixtures.

Because we want the light to shine straight down, despite the angle of the ceiling.

If you look at pics of flat-ceiling and sloped-ceiling cans, the difference is obvious.

Agreed, but if you were to see the size and shape of the room, the ceiling height, and the fan hanging in the center, it's apparent that just four lights in a rectangular pattern is the way to go in this instance.

There is no traffic flow pattern or furniture arrangement that would dictate a larger number of fixtures. The additional holes would look make the large, flat expanse of the sloped ceiling appear cluttered.

But, as Spock with a beard said in Mirror, Mirror, "Captain Kirk! I shall consider it!"

 

[LarryFine]

Here's a pic of a large sloped ceiling where I used four 8" sloped-ceiling cans, obviously new-work, where fewer smaller can's wouldn't work, due to both the obvious interruption by thr dormer, and overall proportion.

Additionally, in response to Bob's suggestion, in this case, all four cans are high enough that the light will spread out enough to cover the area well without an increase in the number of cans if they're large and bright enough.

Would you put standard cans in this ceiling?

​

While some would cringe on it, sometimes it allows the light to cross fire across the room allowing for to to spread out more, just looks funky

If it was my home I would not have used any fixtures in that ceiling.
