Collection: Canless Recessed Lights

Canless recessed lights, also called wafer lights, are ultra-thin LED fixtures that don’t require a traditional housing can. They mount directly into the ceiling using spring clips, making them easier to install in tight spaces.

Canless recessed lights are ideal for remodels, basements, condos, or areas with limited ceiling clearance. They’re also perfect when you want a clean, modern look without bulky housings.

Yes. Most canless LED recessed lights deliver 600–1200 lumens, which is sufficient for general illumination when spaced correctly. Many models also offer selectable color temperatures for added flexibility.

Spacing depends on ceiling height. A common rule is to place fixtures about 4–6 feet apart on 8 ft ceilings, adjusting closer for task lighting or higher ceilings.

No. Canless lights come with an integrated junction box that connects directly to your wiring, eliminating the need for separate housings. This makes installation faster and less invasive.

Most canless recessed lights are IC-rated, meaning they can safely touch insulation without overheating. Always confirm the rating before installation in insulated ceilings.

Yes, most models are dimmable when paired with a compatible dimmer switch. Check manufacturer specifications to ensure proper dimmer compatibility.

Yes, but choose damp- or wet-rated models for moisture-prone areas. Shower trims or IP-rated fixtures are required for direct water exposure.

Canless recessed lights are often field-selectable, letting you choose between 2700K, 3000K, 4000K, 5000K, and sometimes higher. This flexibility makes them suitable for both warm residential and bright commercial settings.
