4 Inch Recessed Lighting

144 products

The four inch aperture is the default for residential ceilings in new construction and renovation alike. It throws a tighter, less washed-out pool of light than a six inch fixture, it suits the eight and nine foot ceilings most homes have, and it spaces sensibly at roughly four feet on centre in a living space and closer over a work surface.

About 4 Inch Recessed Lighting

This page collects every four inch fixture in the catalogue: slim panel pot lights that need no housing and fit a shallow plenum, ultra-thin downlights, fire rated units for a ceiling that forms part of a rated assembly, and gimbal and adjustable trims for sloped ceilings and wall washing. Most are available with selectable colour temperature, so one box covers 2700K through 5000K and the decision can be made on site rather than at the counter.

Two things worth checking before ordering. If the fixture will sit in contact with insulation, it must be IC rated, and if the ceiling is a rated assembly, it must be fire rated for that assembly. Both are called out on the individual product pages. For the difference between IC and non-IC in practice, see our guide on IC rated recessed lighting.
