Globe Electric’s Ultra Slim Recessed Lighting Kits are the recessed lights of the future. Each fixture is 0.4″ (10mm) thick meaning they are ideal for locations where height clearance is limited such as beams or duct work. Energy Star certified and IC rated for direct contact with insulation, they won’t overheat, do not require a bulky can and will last for years to come – 50 000 hours or approximately 45 years if used for 3 hours per day to be exact. Wet rated and certified air tight, this 3″ kit is perfect for your bathroom, drop ceilings, outdoor soffits and all general lighting applications. The smaller footprint gives you an European feel and is perfect for a modern look. Each kit features an ultra slim junction box, a 24″ (610mm) cable, easy push and click quick connects and 9 coil plastic spring clips. Sitting on top of the housing the clips are stronger and easier to use than any of our competitor’s kits. The frosted lens provides a beautiful soft light that shines with 370 lumens and uses only 6 watts of energy to produce the brightness of a 40 watt bulb. Cut a 3.25 in. hole for this item.
