A recessed lighting fixture has three main parts: the housing, trim, and bulb. When looking up at the light, the trim is visible and includes the insert inside the fixture and the thin lining around its edge. The housing refers to the fixture itself, which is installed within the ceiling to hold the bulb. Various bulbs can be utilized with recessed lighting fixtures, contingent upon their heat generation.

UL 1598 recessed housings are categorized into four primary types: IC-rated new construction housings, non-IC-rated new construction housings, IC-rated remodel housings, and non-IC-rated remodel housings. IC-rated new construction housings are affixed to the ceiling supports before the installation of the ceiling surface. If the area above the ceiling is accessible, these fixtures may also be installed within the attic space. IC housings necessitate installation where the insulation will directly touch the housing.

Non-IC-rated new construction housings are suitable for the same scenarios as IC-rated new construction housings but require no contact with insulation and at least 3 inches of spacing from insulation. These housings are typically rated up to 150 watts.

IC-rated remodel housings are intended for use in existing ceilings where insulation will be present and in contact with the fixture. Non-IC-rated remodel housings are suitable for existing ceilings where, ideally, no insulation is present. Nevertheless, these also require no contact with insulation and at least 3 inches of spacing from insulation. Sloped-ceiling housings are available for both insulated and non-insulated ceilings.

The primary purpose of the housing is to prevent flammable materials from coming into contact with the lighting fixture. Poorly designed downlights can pose a fire hazard; consequently, self-resetting thermal switches are incorporated in all newer models for safety. The size of the housing is contingent upon the diameter of the circular opening where the lamp is installed, with 4, 5, and 6 inches being the most prevalent sizes. However, new 4-inch IC Construction units are currently less readily available. Smaller housings (2 and 3 inches) can also be found for specialized uses.

" Airtight" housing not only enhances energy efficiency but also contributes to cost savings on heating and cooling expenditures.

Thinking about adding a hot tub to your home? it's important to ensure that the wiring is up to code. This is not a project for amateurs! Incorrectly wired hot tubs can pose a serious fire hazard. The first step is to check with your local building department to see what the specific requirements are in your area. Once you have the necessary permits, you'll need a certified electrician to do the work. The electrician i.e. Buri Electric will need to run a dedicated circuit from your main electrical panel to the location of the hot tub. They will also need to install a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) to help prevent electrocution. With the wiring in place, you can then enjoy your hot tub safe in the knowledge that it meets all local safety codes. if you need more information, please schedule a site survey appointment one of our team will come to your home and provide you with an Estimate
