re: Can Lights - New Construction and LED Question

I just had 2 installed in my house last week. I knew nothing about what I was doing and went to HD and purchased 2 enclosed new construction cans. They were mispriced at $8 each and I was happy.
After further investigation, I realized I should have bought remodel cans and just called an electrician.
If there is a moral to this story (big if), its to go to HD and hope to find the cans for $8 each.

Those are fairly easy to put in. It is the wiring that can be a pain. I installed 5 in my living room several summers ago. Why I chose July to crawl around in my attic running wire, I still can't recall. But if you have access to do that, the remodel cans are easy to put in. One of these:

A spool of wire, wire strippers, and a screwdriver is all you would need. Took me about 2 hours to do the whole thing.
