Question

Bug Proof Recessed Lights.


I am trying to find a wall wash, recessed, ceiling light fixture for an exterior application. Bugs getting in are an issue. Could be line or low voltage.

The protocol police have spoken.

I have yet to see a recess light that could keep bugs out.

Get on Juno lightings site and try this part number. Cat#439B-WH. Its low voltage with sealed trim and MR16 Lamp behind it. (Wall Wash). They also have line voltage (120v) with same part number. These should keep the bugs out.
