low profile cans for soffitt

[masterinbama]

Any one here have a source for small remodel cans. They need to be rather shallow because the customer wants them in the soffitts of his house. The roof is very low pitched, so I have very little overhead clearance.I can go with low voltage if need be, they might even be better.

How much room do you have? Halo and Lithoinia both make a fairly shallow can (in 4" diameter) that will fit into some pretty tight spaces. http://www.lithonia.com/documents/misc/LL-ResiRecessed_Catalog_web.pdf
Look around page 10-11 of the attached catalogue from Lithonia for can housings designed for 2 x 6 and 2 x 8 construction.

Halo makes a H27 RT-- remodel as well as a open construction can- H27T. Both are non IC and an 1" or so shallower than the H7 cans. Same diameter.

They do make an H27 ict I found these will fit 2x6 joists

Thanks guys I think I can use something from Lithonia. My biggest problem is the soffitt is not framed normally basically the brake metal on the facia and the freeze hold the vinyl up so I will have to cut out some luan plywood backers to support these lights. I don't do very much residential retrofit work ,but the customer is a process engineer i do a lot of work for and he knows I'm a little slow until February

. . . I'm a little slow until February

I wish I was faster in the spring.

Be wary of bad frost / moisture build up with cans that close to a roof line in the winter time.
