We’ve talked about pot lights in past blog posts on how they kill energy performance when they penetrate air barriers and that recessed fixtures are no longer necessary to achieve the same look. It’s true, you only need a standard Junction box but if you insist, or if you have to retrofit existing fixtures, here are some dry walled boxes that were done nicely.
This pot light in an attic floor was boxed with drywall then spray foamed with two pound foam. Nice work – but a lot of work.
This pot light in a floor cavity was lined with fire rated drywall and seams were sealed with fire-rated caulking. Nice work – but expensive labour-wise.
