The H1499IC offers a range of features that make it an ideal choice for accent or task lighting in new construction. The unit is IC-rated, so it can be fully covered with insulation. It also features Halo"s "Air-Tite" construction, which means that it won"t leak warm air into your ceiling or attic.Ease of installation is another selling point. The hanger bars include pre-installed nails (self-tapping screws are also available) in special housings that ensure smooth, straight penetration, whether you"re working with laminated composites, engineered I-joists, open-web joist plates, or even frozen lumber. The automatic leveling flanges allow you to hold the housing securely in place with one hand while driving nails with the other. The housing also includes integral T-bar clips for use with suspended ceiling T-grid systems.Halo also makes it easy to work in confined spaces. To install in joist spans of less than 12 inches, simply collapse the hanger bars then bend and break them along the score lines--no tools needed. The bars can also be removed and repositioned on the opposite side of the frame if you need to mount the unit at 90 degrees to the original configuration. Wiring is a breeze with Halo"s patented Slide-N-Side wiring system, which allows wiring outside the junction box.Available with a variety of trim options (sold separately)UL listed for damp location, feed through, direct contact with insulation and combustible material.--Josh DettweilerWhat"s in the BoxFour-inch-aperture housingIC-rated 4-inch-aperture housing for recessed downlightingFor accent/spot lighting in new construction in full contact with insulationAir-Tite housing stops airflow between attic/ceiling and living spaceAluminum housing dissipates heat; galvanized steel plaster frame1-year warranty; uses 1 12-volt MR16 lamp
