One problem with recessed light fixtures is that they can undermine all the hard insulating work you've done by allowing warm air to leak into your attic. The H5ICAT from Halo is designed to eliminate this problem: its trademark "Air-Tite" housing prevents airflow between the attic and living spaces. The housing itself is insulated, which means that you can cover it with insulation without risking a fire. And it looks good, too--the five-inch aperture is both elegant and inconspicuous.
The H5ICAT allows for a variety of situations particular to your construction site. It can be positioned at any point within a 24-inch joist span, and score lines are provided to facilitate field-shortening for 12-inch joists. The junction box is approved for through-branch circuit wiring and has seven 1/2-inch knockouts with true pry-out slots. The housing may be adjusted for ceilings of up to one-inch thick.
The housing also features preinstalled nails for easy installation, and it includes an automatic leveling flange that lets you align the housing and hold it in place with one hand while securing to joists. For safety, the unit includes a thermal protector that deactivates the fixture if it overheats. Available with a variety of trim options (sold separately). UL/cUL listed. --Josh Dettweiler

Can't say enough good things about the lighting can. Easy install. Adjustable to a wide variety of spans. Easy to wire (wife did them all, just ask her). Paired with a retro-fit LED lamp and you have great lighting for under $20 apiece. Four cans in master bedroom. Six each in LR and DR. Great lighting.

Installed 14 of these in drop ceiling configuration and used LED bulbs. Construction is solid and no problems with any of the units. Little hum from one unit after installation but found it was the bulb.

I installed these in the unfinished part of our house. They installed easy enough. Hook-ups were easy. I like the quick-connect wiring nuts. I also like that you can move them back and forth on the supports.

I have been an electrical contractor and have used halo h5 ICS since the year 2000 I have never had any problems until the last 2 months and now anytime they're covered with insulation the thermal overload trips and keeps tripping until we remove the insulation from over them this has happened on multiple houses. we've tried different types of bulbs everything we can think of. the only thing that allows in the work is removing insulation for around and have contacted halo and distributors and got no response. looks like we'll have to stop using them. I use an average of about 600 a year.

Love them, easy and simple to install. A cutout of the canister would make cutting the ceiling easier. Also, the sliding tracks can be sticky, bent, taped (grrr) but can be easily remedied with your hands.

Put these in a bath remodel. Nice features: Easy installation, great instructions, lots of mounting options, high quality, plug and play type wire connectors, sealed housings, but you still can access the wires if you had to. I will get these again for my next project.
