Halo H5RT 5-Inch Recessed Light Housing for Remodels
The H5RT is a great choice if you're looking for a vivid yet low-profile lighting solution for installation in non-insulated existing construction. The five-inch aperture accommodates the smaller PAR20 and PAR30 halogens and fits a variety of trims, allowing you to customize the look and lighting effect.Halo makes installation easy with an array of useful features. The H5RT can be installed from below the ceiling using the included remodel clips (these accommodate 1/2- and 5/8-inch ceiling materials). The fixed-position porcelain socket with screw shell provides consistent lamp positioning, and three "Quick Connect" connectors eliminate the need for separate wire nuts.While this unit is not IC-rated, you can install with insulation as long as you keep it at least three inches from the housing. For safety, the fixture includes a self-resetting thermal protector that deactivates the fixture if it overheats.Available with a variety of trim options (sold separately). UL damp-location and feed-through rated; CSA certified; IP rated. (Looking for a similar lamp for new construction? See Halo's H5T.)--Josh DettweilerWhat's in the BoxFive-inch-aperture housing
