Studs stransfer vertical load down to the foundation via compressive strength. Floor joists transfer their load horizontally to the stud walls via tensile strength.
I’m looking for these and I like the plug in shown. But what ones are like that and don’t have a larger driver box? Or do they and that’s already up there? I’m working with a outdoor false ceiling kinda deal and only have 2”
What brand lights are those? I'm looking to replace my current slim pot lights with ones that are a cooler color temp like 5000k but having a problem finding lights with those connectors like in your video. 🙏
Hi, Evey here! Thanks for tuning in and watching our video. We'd like to send you our newest product, the Matter smart RGBWW downlight, for you to try out and potentially review. What do you think?
Fkn MISLEADING & IGNORANT. 1) This isn't a stud, it's a joist. 2) If the joist covers 50% or more of your hole you cannot fix this pot light. The two spring-loaded clips on the pot light frame are sitting on its diameter, meaning to say if you drew a line between them you'd split the potlight in half. Those clips need enough clearance around them to pass into the ceiling and latch onto the drywall from the top. Therefore if your JOIST is covering almost 50% or more of the hole you drilled you can't mount that pot light up there. The pot light's recessed portion will fit in there easily but the housing that goes into the ceiling will not (because of those mounting clips). Please be careful before you blindly follow this careless advice and plan your pot light locations in advance accordingly. If you are replacing an old light fixture that sits in the middle of a room and cannot/do not want to patch up your ceiling then consider other options.
These lights have bailed us out of the situation you describe many times. These pot-lights have a 4-1/8” to 4-1/4” cutout meaning a 1-1/2” joist still allows you to both slip the driver into the cavity and attach the clips. You might run into that problem you describe with a smaller pot-light.🤷♂️
