Does any recommend this for install recessed lighting? I am trying to get 2 lasers to cross so I can have alignment for cans, anyone recommend this?

It creates a horizontal level and a vertical plumb line. This probably wouldn't help as much as something that would project directly upward, since vertical line is limited angle. Great for against a wall but not on the ceiling and directly overhead. I'm not sure how you would generate alignment. It might be simpler to measure from the walls to get parallel.

It does have crossed laser lines, but it tries to keep itself level horizontally. If you're looking to align cans in a ceiling, I don't think this would work well.

We have it in our recess light can fixtures on the ceiling. They are similar to incandacent in size and screwon connector.

Victoria, I replaced the original halogen lamp with a Torchstar 5watt LED lamp with a beam angle of 36 degrees to enable me to operate more fixtures on a single transformer. These lamps are 2700K and give the landscaping a nice warm glow. Without knowing exactly what you are trying to accomplish, it would be hard to say what spacing you may need. I use this fixture for up lighting trees in my yard. The spacing will also depend on the distance the fixtures are installed away from the fence. I hope this helps some what. Dean

Must not be compatible. I noticed that the short housing cans require a difference light. These Sylvania works lie a champ for the normal high hat fixture. If I remember correctly, 6 inch height is the standard height. You may also have some 4 inch (which appear to be almost 5 inch when measured). These cans that are not as deep require a different bulb. I used the HALO brand for my shallow cans: Halo 6 in. White LED Recessed Lighting TrimSame color temp (3000K). I have them in the same room with my Sylvanias...and you cannot tell the difference. Must not be compatible. I noticed that the short housing cans require a difference light.

I think what you are trying to do will work. The sensor and the lamps are adjustable in multi direction. You just need to be sure to shield the sensor from the lights and you will be ok.

It does need to be recessed. However the directions and template provided make this an easy task if you have simple tools like a drill and jig saw or a Dremel tool which is what I used to cut the rectangular holes in my risers. I installed 14 lights and wired them in less than three hours time and I am not a pro. Hope this helps. They look really nice, by the way.

I have one power source and split my lights after my dimmer in my kitchen. If the two strips are not too long it should be no problem. Before you mount the strips try it and see if the dimmer stays cool. The power source also has to be sized correctly.

I had existing 4" recessed lighting that used screw in halaogen bulbs , the housing fit in a 4" hole through the ceiling,withe the wiring in the attic. It was simple for me ,to replace the halogen with the T41 , plus now I can insulate my attic .Go to your local box store and look at the recessed cans , just make sure you get one that has the "normal " bulb screw in socket . any make should work , but yes it requires the 4" hole

When I got mine I wondered the same thing. At the rear of the laser is where the switch is. You can push it on and off from either side of the gun. It blends well with the laser and gun.

Our 12W 4" Recessed Lighting fixture is not compatible with any housing, it is made to be installed directly to the dry wall. However, if you are looking for a recessed light that needs to be used with the cans, please refer to ASIN: B00JUO51QU

No, they're two different style light strips.the only way would be to cut the ends and soldier the together..that's what I did.

I suggest you see "installation notes for a two-car garage" here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2AZZ6GYOCFSGS/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B0008D6NK0&linkCode=&nodeID=&tag= While per the other answers the 2-laser unit seems to work, I think there are advantages to using two single-laser units instead, stemming from the fact that they can be aimed completely independently of one-another.

It says right on the neck of the fixture NOT FOR USE IN ENCLOSED LUMINARY. Many commentators stress how little heat comes from these bulbs. That is true on the lighted side. The backside or the side in the enclosed can is another matter. If you feel the backside cooling fins you'll soon realize that plenty of heat is generated, so much so that inside an enclosed can they'd be too hot to touch. That is undoubtedly the reason for the disclosure stated in the first sentence. What is at issue is the build up of heat. Will it trip the cutout? Will it affect the electronics that make the LED function? I have these same lights in enclosed cans in my house. For years I had halogen in the same cans. The cans are rated for insulation coverage. At the very least I'd expect a drop in life expectancy. It'd be nice to have a little vent in the can to vent the heat.

Mike I am using these for recessed lighting. Take note that in a group of 6 recessed lights I had to use 2 regular( non LED) bulbs and 4 of these LED's otherwise the LED's woudl start blinking.

Yes, I am using them with recessed lights. Only thing is the dimming isn't perfectly smooth with LED's. That said, they do not claim to work with LED's at all abd I fine that they do.

I did use one of those elongated lightbulbs, about 5 inches long and 1.5 inches wide, because I did not like how the CFL looked. It was too bright. It works fine.....I wish the damned slider pole could be tightened, however!
