Slope ceiling recessed light housing or not!

[Sierrasparky]

I have been wondering about this for many years.
How do you folks treat vaulted or trade ceinlings and recessed lights. Do you use the sloped housings or do you use regular and the eyball trim.

I personally use the sloped housings, but I am always bidding against those that never use them.

we usually use the sloped trims. I think they look better

According to a first year apprentice residential wireman textbook I'm reading, "Recessed luminaires intended for installation in a sloped ceiling are submitted to UL specifically for testing in a sloped ceiling. Look for the marking 'Sloped Ceiling.'"

It seems you've been doing it right all along.:thumbsup:

I agree. Have used them in my own home. I'm not a fan of eyeballs, fixtures that it.

Eyeballs really don't work well once you get past a certain angle anyway. Usually 3/12 is the best they can do. Anything steeper than that you should go to a slope can.

Some manufacturers make two models, one that goes to 6/12 and another to go from 6/12 to 12/12.

I have one of these that I'm getting ready to install in a few weeks. There are a few different trims but I like the one in the link.
