The contractors probably had 500 of the 6” cans in there warehouse , insist on what was chosen 4” with LEDs in 4000K is what you need and the gimballs just allow the light to be a bit adjusted to shine down. BTW pretty sure no one will notice the tiny protrusion.

No, it was actually a misunderstanding with our designer and the specs. They went to Home Depot for the product. Will gimbals actually help with the feeling of light in the eyes?

It's no big deal, and there is nothing wrong with those cans. I also do not think gimbles will make or break the space. once your cabinets, wall color counters, floors, and decorative light fixture go in the cans will fall to the background. Sometimes its much to early to say you don't like it. I would instead ask for a credit and use that money somewhere else, like maybe just a little credit for their mess up.

Are there actually cans (housings) in the ceiling? From the appearance of the hanging fixture at the lower right, it appears that these may be canless fixtures such as this. This light, designed for flat ceilings, is very shallow and its lens is very close to the surface of the fixture and thus visible. This means that the light will shine in your face, particularly when installed on a sloped ceiling. If this bothers you, you could install a housing with trim designed for a sloped ceiling. This recesses the light source into the housing thereby making it less visible and annoying.

That's my issue, how annoying is it going to be for me. They just have one can hanging down for some reason. All the canless fixtures that you mention are new. Track lighting was taken down. That's why I thought the gimbal might be nice.

Im not even sure those are cans or flush mount "look a like" here is what slopped can look like.

I have 4" cans that are specified as shallow with a sloped baffle and recessed trim. Nothing protrudes from the can and you can direct where the light hits...somewhat.

Do you guys have a link to your cans? This is obviously not new construction so the issue is space for the cans.

RL Relocation, are these 4" or 6"

Judmen - Recessed on sloped ceilings requires a bit more work to select the correct recessed light (ceiling pitch, lumens and beam spread are some factors). Based on the hanging fixture in your picture it looks like something like this was purchased and installed from Home Depot:

As wdccruise pointed out, these are designed for flat ceilings. When installed on a sloped ceiling you run into problems because the light doesn't shine down. A gimbal would allow you to do that, but there are better options. Here's a link where you can learn a bit more about recessed lighting for sloped ceilings. This is for info only, I don't think this company's solution will work for you, BUT there are LED can and canless solutions that would.

Aside from gimbal trims, better designed solutions are probably not stocked in your local Home Center. They can also get pricey.

@judmen: "Do you guys have a link to your cans?"

I provided links to a Juno sloped-ceiling housing (aka "can") and trim in my earlier comment.

Those are 6'' . The answer is shallow housing cans. the ones shown above have a remote driver rather than built into the can, so it makes it easy to plop them in for lack of a better term. I will agree that you are slightly getting the short end of the stick.
