Recessed housings are the essential foundation for any recessed lighting setup, providing the structure and safety needed for a clean and secure installation. Whether you're starting a new construction project or retrofitting an existing ceiling, Carrington Lighting offers housings for all applications. Choose from IC-rated, non-IC, and airtight models built to meet your project’s code and performance requirements.

Choose the Right Housing for Your Application

New construction housings are ideal for open-ceiling installations before drywall is in place, while remodel housings are made for finished ceilings where access is limited. IC-rated housings are safe for contact with insulation, and non-IC options are best for uninsulated areas. Airtight housings help prevent airflow leakage, improving energy efficiency throughout your home.

Safe, Code-Compliant Installation

Carrington Lighting’s recessed housings are built with durable materials and easy-to-use mounting systems. Whether you're working with standard ceiling joists or specialty ceilings, we offer options that fit securely and provide long-term reliability. Most models are UL listed and compatible with LED trims or modules for energy-efficient lighting.

Designed to Work with Recessed Fixtures

Pair your housing with a trim or integrated LED module to complete the look. Our housings are compatible with many of the fixtures found in our recessed lights collection, allowing you to build a seamless recessed lighting system from the ground up.

Build a Reliable Lighting Foundation

A quality recessed housing sets the stage for long-lasting, low-profile lighting throughout your home. Whether you're updating a single room or lighting an entire floor, Carrington Lighting has the housings and accessories you need for a smooth, successful installation.
