| Hello,
I know there are different size cans- 3, 4,5. Any advice as to what I should consider for the size? Is it more aesthetics than anything? I am assuming smaller cans will allow for less heat loss. Are costs all comparable? THank you! |

| Can sizes range from 2" to 6". The costs increase when the size decreases for a number of reasons. 1. The smaller cans could contain a low voltage power supply. 2. The smaller cans could utilize MR16 reflector bulbs which cost more. Cans today could be rated as Air-tite and for direct contract with insulation which helps minimize heat loss/ gain.
