Looking for some opinions,
I've only ever installed "new work" style recessed lighting housing - even in remodel work. Just modified as necessary to fit

I recently installed a few small wall washers that were "old work" style recently and found they worked pretty well. I was always afraid the lip would never sit tight and flush with the ceiling - but not the case here.

Are the 5" and 6" "old work" as good as the small ones? Specifically Halo IC incandescent housings.




BTW - this is not my first post. Used to post as NJ_WVU Grad
