HALO 4-Inch Recessed Lighting Housing, IC-Rated Air-Tite New Construction Can Light, E26 Traditional Socket for Incandescent or LED Retrofit, Got Nail! Bar Hangers, Kitchen & Bath Ceiling - H99ICAT

Product Description The HALO H99ICAT 4-inch recessed lighting housing is the professional’s choice for new construction projects involving insulated (IC) ceilings. Engineered for high performance, this IC-rated can light housing is specifically designed for direct contact with insulation, eliminating the need for clearance gaps and ensuring a seamless thermal barrier. The double-wall aluminum construction provides superior heat dissipation and durability, making it an ideal foundation for accent, task, or general lighting in residential or light commercial spaces. As a code-compliant Air-Tite™ fixture, it is certified under ASTM E283 to prevent airflow between conditioned and unconditioned spaces, significantly improving home energy efficiency and reducing long-term utility costs. Contractor-focused features make the H99ICAT a standout recessed lighting choice for fast-paced jobs. It features the patented "Got Nail!" bar hangers with pre-installed nails and Pass-N-Thru™ bars, allowing the housing to be easily positioned and securely attached to framing before drywall is installed. The galvanized steel plaster frame includes an adjustable inner housing that accommodates ceilings up to 1 inch thick, ensuring a perfectly flush finish. Wiring is fast and reliable thanks to Quick Connect™ push-in wire nuts with clear caps for instant connection visibility. The spacious junction box is equipped with multiple 1/2" knockouts and integral strain relief for non-metallic (NM) sheathed cable, simplifying the electrical rough-in process. Designed for maximum versatility, this 120V E26 screwbase housing features a porcelain socket with a nickel-plated brass shell for secure lamp positioning. The H99ICAT is fully compatible with a wide range of HALO and non-HALO trims, including Halogen, CFL, or Incandescent lamps. It is also designed to be easily modernized with HALO LED lighting systems for a high-efficiency upgrade. With cULus Listing for damp locations—and Wet Location certification when used with select trims—it is a reliable choice for kitchen lighting, bathroom lighting, covered outdoor soffits, and much more.
