Question Gazebo recessed lighting and stuff...
Has anybody here ever done this? I have a customer that wants 4 can lights and a ceiling fan installed in his gazebo. I'm wondering if an air tight IC can w/vapor trims will be sufficient?
Or do I even need to do the vapor trims? The can's will be exposed to the outside air, but protected from the rain and snow being underneath the roof.
Your input is much appreciated, thanks!

Regular trims are fine. Most trims and cans are rated for damp locations which is what this would be.

I'd get a fan rated for outdoor use.

So you won't be finishing the cans you'll just have an exposed can?
