When deciding between a retrofit in a can, a slim with a J-box, or a disk downlight, what factors should you consider?
Curious as to how LED downlights
may solve common lighting problems and how to prepare for recessed lighting?
Take a look at the following illumination examples to get a feel for how LED
recessed lighting may be used to address common issues with lighting in both
domestic and business settings.
Because of Limited Space,
When deciding where to place a
downlight in your house, you should think about the area above the ceiling. You
should think about where you want your lights placed, or how you can make the
most of the recessed lighting already installed.
Here are a few ways to deal with
the most typical issues that arise when installing recessed lighting in a home:
Cans that are too tall and/or too
deep to fit into a tight crawl space.
The answer is a j-
box slim light equipped thin-profile downlight.
Sunco Lighting's all-in-one Slims
and Integrated Slims need just a 2" clearance for the incorporated
junction box, making them ideal for tight ceiling spaces and dimmable.
Commonly used for single light
switch and outlet receptacle installations, standard rectangular boxes are
sometimes referred to as "single-gang" or "one-gang" boxes.
They have a standard dimension of 2 inches by 4 inches, and their depth may be
anything from 1.5 inches to 3.5 inches. Some of the shapes may be ganged with
others to make bigger containers suitable for housing two, three, or more gadgets
side by side, and this is accomplished by removing the sides of the individual
containers.
Standard rectangular boxes may be
found in a wide variety of "new work" and "old work"
designs, and they can be made of metal or another material. For securing NM cables,
some models have built-in cable clamps. The price of these containers might
vary widely, although the most common varieties are rather cheap.
Electrical switches and outlets
may be housed in gangable electrical boxes, which are similar to ordinary rectangular
boxes but are larger to accommodate mounting two, three, or 4 devices side by
side. They come in both "current project" and "old work"
styles, with some models including integrated cable clamps.
Rectangular boxes with a gangable
design, in which the sides may be removed to facilitate the boxes' joining
together to make bigger boxes, can achieve the same result. In most cases,
gangable electrical boxes are built of galvanized steel because of their
durability, however, plastic snap-together alternatives may be obtained at
select hardware shops.
