Globe Electric's ultra slim recessed lighting kits are the recessed lights of the future. Each fixture is 0.4 in. (10 mm) thick meaning they are ideal for locations where height clearance is limited such as beams or ductwork. Energy Star certified and IC rated for direct contact with insulation, they won't overheat, do not require a bulky can and will last for years to come - 50 000 hours or approximately 45 years if used for 3 hours per day to be exact. Wet rated and certified airtight, this 3 in. kit is perfect for your bathroom, drop ceilings, outdoor soffits and all general lighting applications. The smaller footprint gives you an European feel and is perfect for a modern look.
