| Hello -
I have a pretty basic question. I am going to be putting recessed lighting into our family room, which currently has no lighting at all. Before I go buy housings and trim, however, I was wondering if someone could tell me whether or not I really need "slope" hardware. The room is 14 ft wide and has a 2.5 ft rise from one side to the other - exactly 10 degrees. Basically, my question is simply whether or not this is "enough slope" that I need to use slope hardware. I see the range of slope on this hardware is typically given as 9 degrees to 27 degrees. Being that I am at one extreme (the low end), is this necessary? Thanks! Brett |

| Perhaps yes. If the ceiling slope is noticeable, standard housing and trim would not work too well. Alternatively, you could choose to level the ceiling. Ultimately, it's a matter of personal taste. |
