When I renovated my kitchen, I used the H7ICAT hi-hats. ( insulation
rated, air tight). from what I read on the spec sheet on Cooper's
website, there are only like 6 or 7 trims/baffles you can use.

But I just wanted the basic baffle. I used the 310 baffle with the R30
65 watt bulb.


When I installed it, if you look up into the hi-hat, you can see some
of the inside of the housing. It seems that either the baffle is too
wide on top , or the bulb is too small. I did push the adjustable
light socket all the way up, so it's as far up as it will go.
It's really not noticeable unless the light is off and if you look
up. I was just curious if anyone encountered a similiar problem

The 310 is not an airtite trim. For airtite the most standard looking trim
is 30 wat or pat if you want black. If you don't need or want airtite, you
can use the 410 trim with an R-40 65 wat lamp. This will fill most of the
space around the lamp
