Default Recessed Lighting

So during my remodel - House Redux. We decided on recessed lighting for the closet and kitchen areas. Of course some of the new regulations now require an IC type (able to touch insulation) airtight light. We found some at Depot from Commercial Electric. The only problem is that these are 6" type H4 and we are having difficulty finding aesthetically pleasing trim rings. Does anyone have an idea of what is compatible with type H4? It requires the butterfly spring type trim.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

I also have access to Juno Lighting at cost, so if anyone has any pointers?? I shouldn't have got all hot to trot and bought all Juno and saved a couple of bucks.

Thanks ,



J

Recessed downlights are tested and approved by UL as a system (i.e., housing & trim). Using another manufacturer's trim voids the UL listing and may cause overheating (i.e., fire threat).
