I have installed the 2 tube flange type flourescent light before, but I have a need of installing 6 four tube recess flanged type lights in sheetrock. The ceiling joist are 2ft. on center. I called my supply house and they said the dimensions were just like a "lay in light". Since the ceiling joist are 2 ft. on center, a full 24 inches wouldn't work unless this dimension is for the trim only, then the "body" of the fixture tapers off, so it will fit in between the ceiling joist. Has anyone installed these type before? Do they fit in between the 2 ft. ceiling joist?
Called another lighting place and they said the measurements were 23 1/2 X 48 1/2 . Surely they would make one that would fit in between regular ceiling joist. Thanks for the help. Steve.
