Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
One problem with recessed light fixtures is that they can undermine all the hard insulating work you've done by allowing warm air to leak into your attic. The H5ICAT from Halo is designed to eliminate this problem: its trademark "Air-Tite" housing prevents airflow between the attic and living spaces. The housing itself is insulated, which means that you can cover it with insulation without risking a fire. And it looks good, too--the five-inch aperture is both elegant and inconspicuous.
The H5ICAT allows for a variety of situations particular to your construction site. It can be positioned at any point within a 24-inch joist span, and score lines are provided to facilitate field-shortening for 12-inch joists. The junction box is approved for through-branch circuit wiring and has seven 1/2-inch knockouts with true pry-out slots. The housing may be adjusted for ceilings of up to one-inch thick.
The housing also features preinstalled nails for easy installation, and it includes an automatic leveling flange that lets you align the housing and hold it in place with one hand while securing to joists. For safety, the unit includes a thermal protector that deactivates the fixture if it overheats. Available with a variety of trim options (sold separately). UL/cUL listed. --Josh Dettweiler

Costumer Reviews
Very easy to install/use. With access to the space above the living room ceiling and open ceiling joists up there these 'New Construction' 'IC' light housings are easily installed and afterward can be covered by loose insulation. I put in several and had no problems at all, once the hole is cut where you need it the unit drops into place and the supports extend over to the ceiling joists and their tabs can 99% of the time just slip between the sheetrock/ceiling joist. If its just too tight you can either cut off the tab with a pair of tin snips or simply bend it over flat. Then the nails (provided ; in place!)are hammered into the ceiling joist. Using these new construction units makes it so you have more than the sheetrock holding the recessed light cans in place. The electrical connections inside the unit couldn't be easier and take less than a minute to connect up. Recommend!
