By the way down here the Expo Design Center (Home Depot's high end
stores) are closing and everything is 50% off.

I was there today and came across a return item, two boxes of trims for
the 6" housings. Those are Halo 30WAT, and each box has 18 of them
each one was marked down to $10.00 and 50% off that. So I got all 28
of those trims. However I did not notice that some of them are
different, turns out I ended up with 11 of 30WAT and 17 of the 30WATH.
They look the same except the 30WAT (62400 60332) the upper inside part
of the cone is white, anf the 30WATH (62400 68832) the upper inside
part of the cone is silver.

I took your advice and used H7T housing for most of my down lighting
and it seems the 30WAT(H) will work, according to Halo's website I can
use 100W A19 if I wanted to but I probably will use 75W instead.

I wonder if I can tell the difference between 30WAT and 30WATH down
from below after the bulbs are inserted.

That is an airtite trim. You remove the guts of the frame, leaving the
ceramic socket which clips into the end of the trim, with a gasket,
keeping it air tight. Be careful when installing them, the spring wires
that hold the trim into the frame, can be a bit tricky, and the rim of
the trim bends very easily




RBM what do you mean by removing the guts of the frame? You mean it does
not install by pushing it into the housing like the other trims?

Thanks,

Correct, that trim has a hole at the narrow end, and the socket mounts
directly to it. Currently, the socket is mounted on a flat plate inside
the can. You remove the wing nut on the side of the can that holds that
plate, pull it down, out of the can, and pinch the two spring steel
retainers on the socket to remove it from the plate. Discard the plate and
mount the socket to the trim.




Oh I see, and by doing that, I lose the adjustable aspect of the H7T socket.
I didn't think of that. Actually now that I look closer at it, I think it
would be very difficult to mount this trim to the housing could be very
tricky. May be I should have gotten the 410W instead even if this one is
heavily discounted.
