5" Recessed LED Lights

10 years ago

We have 5" LED cans. I am trying to find LED light/trim combos that are for 5" that either are recessed just a little or bulge out a little. More importantly, I want one that isn't compatible with 6" cans as they have wide rims to accommodate the 6" cans. I searched lights from Feit, Halo, Sylvia, Juno, Sea Gull, Light EVER, Torchlight, Cree etc. but none have any that are meant for 5" cans only (hence an outer diameter of around 6-6.5"). Any input is appreciated.

Many LED lamps with attached trim are built to fit in both 5" or 6" cans.

The reason why the outer diameter is at least 6" is to hide larger and/ or irregular edge holes.

If the size of the trim ring really bothers you, the separate bulb and trim route might be the better approach.

I understand reason why the trim needs to be wider. The issue is that all the trim/light combinations I can find are meant to cover a not precisely cut opening for 6" cans. That means those trims are at least 7" wide. I did look at solutions with separate trims and lights but the total cost is at least $50/light. This is rather expensive so unfortunately I will have to chose one of the 5"/6" solutions. Anyways, thanks for the input.
