Hi,
I'm installing some recessed can lights in the kitchen. The drywall
on the ceiling is completely removed, so I have clean access to the
2x8 joists. The normal size can lights are 8 inches tall, so when
they're installed flush with the drywall, the top touches the ceiling.
Is that ok, or do I need to buy the "low profile" cans that are only
4-5 inches tall?


Thanks for any information. This is a great Usenet group.
