Recessed Lighting Housings

Recessed lighting housings are the main structural components that hold and support recessed lights within ceilings or walls. They come in different types, including new construction (for open ceilings before drywall installation) and remodel (for existing ceilings with limited access). There are also IC-rated housings (safe for direct contact with insulation) and non-IC-rated ones (require spacing from insulation). The housing ensures proper heat dissipation, electrical safety, and compatibility with various trims and bulbs, making them essential for a well-functioning recessed lighting setup.
