At the lighting store they suggested using recessed lights that are made for a flat ceiling on our ceiling which has a slope of about 15 degrees. Will these Juno 5" New Construction IC Housing Style # 32982 work or do we need to go with a light designed for sloped ceilings. Thanks for the help.

Recessed fixtures for slope ceilings are adjustable to allow the lamp to be aimed straight down. Standard recessed housings can use adjustable trims. Recessed fixtures made for slope ceilings have this adjustability inside the housings for a cleaner looking ceiling with less glare. With typical 6" housings the cylinder walls will be perpendicular to the ceiling if standard or approximately perpendicular to the floor if slope. You need to find out the brand and model of the housings to choose trims so you're going to need to get up there and read the label. Buy the trims from the company that made the housings to be ensure code compliance because they are ETL or UL listed that way.

David... This combination (chandelier and recessed lights over the island) is definitely different and I have not seen photos of this combination. I am wondering if a compromise would be to use only 3 chandeliers or pendants over the island only and move the recessed lights along the wall where the cabinets are located more toward the center of the aisle between the cabinets and island. Right now the recessed lights are 32" from the wall. The aisle distance between the cabinets and island will be approximately 48". Currently I am using a Cree Par30 short neck 3000K 40 degree beam spread bulb in the Juno can with clear alzak trim. The hope is that the light will spread toward the counter tops along the cabinets as well as the counter top on the island. Please provide your feedback. FYI.. Another option could be to add another row of recessed lights along the front of the island and have 3 chandeliers or pendants centered along the island. See photos attached of lighting options above island.... The last photos is what the final lighting plan could eventually look like depending on the placement of the recessed lights near the island. Option 1: Option 2:

I DO NOT like my recessed lighting on the sloped ceilings. I hate the dark shadow gap in the model of the Iolite that I have - it is very noticeable on my white ceilings. I don't know why they designed these lights this way. My advice- buy a fixture which has no gap when it is tilted- even if it is a gimball. I believe the newer models of Nora no longer have these gaps. Also- one feature I love with my receseed lighting is the dimmable option which allows you to go from a very low K to 2700K. When I turn down the lights- they are much warmer and create lots of ambiance. And I just keep them at highest setting when I want brighter light. I should have done this with every recessed light in my house except the bathrooms and the kitchen - with are fine with just normal 2700 dimmable. And- don't add too much recessed lighting. It's better to have fewer fixtures, fewer switches (NO MORE THAN 3 per plate if possible), and more traditional lighting using both table/floor lamps, sconces, and ceiling fixtures. But I prefer more traditional homes so.....
