canless LED lights
i've been thinking of putting some 4 or 6" canless led's over the kitchen counter area...i was at Lowes the other day and saw they have them with attached junction boxes and non-attached...
I can see the advantage of the non-attached in a low clearance area, but i have plenty of room above the kitchen in the attic...
any other advantages or preferences of one or the other...?
Thanks
Dave

I've been using the separate driver boxes and 4" recessed lights. Lithonia and Halo both make a similar product and are quality companies. Both have a switch where you can set the LED color.
The one downfall is you can only fit two #14 cables in them.
The Halo junction box is slightly larger.

Thanks for the information...
i wonder if 4" would be enough lumens, or if i should just go 6".....500+ compared to 1000+
getting off the subject a little, i've had the drivers/transformers fail in all the LED flush mount ceiling lights ive installed after a few years...from Home Depot and Lowes...lights just kept blinking...

The 4" put out an amazing amount of light so that most people want them on a dimmer.
4-6 lights is more than enough for most living rooms or kitchens.
