Installing Recessed Lighting

Bob meets with Ed House the electrician from Cliff Electrical Contractors who is installing recessed lighting or sometimes called "high hats." They are called high hats because the metal light canister was a round cylinder shaped like Abe Lincoln's hat. They discuss the thermal cutoff device, install the fixture itself, and make all the necessary wiring connections. Ed also gives a few advantages of recessed lighting. More information
