Amazon.com Product Description
This low-voltage, small-aperture (four inches) housing is ideal for providing accent or task lighting in new construction where you're working with shallow ceilings. The unit measures a scant 5 inches, making it a perfect fit in situations where two-by-six-inch joists are being used.
Like most of Halo's recessed lighting fixtures, the H1499T is designed for ease of installation and flexibility across a variety of materials and situations. The hanger bars include pre-installed nails (self-tapping screws are also available) in special housings that ensure smooth, straight penetration, whether you're working with laminated composites, engineered I-joists, open-web joist plates, or even frozen lumber. The automatic leveling flanges allow you to hold the housing securely in place with one hand while driving nails with the other. The housing also includes integral T-bar clips for use with suspended ceiling T-grid systems.
Halo also makes it easy to work in confined spaces. To install in joist spans of less than 12 inches, simply collapse the hanger bars then bend and break them along the score lines--no tools needed. The bars can also be removed and repositioned on the opposite side of the frame if you need to mount the unit at 90 degrees to the original configuration. Wiring is a breeze with Halo's patented Slide-N-Side wiring system, which allows wiring outside the junction box.
Note that, while the H1499T is not rated for direct contact with insulation, insulation may be used as long as a three-inch space is maintained around the housing. Available with a variety of trim options (sold separately). UL/cUL listed for damp location and feed through. IP rated (improper lamp).
