Some "cans", or more accurately, recessed housings, simply do not have a "ring" that protrudes from the back side of the sheetrock to the finished side.Question: Why would someone not drop the flange down like they're suppose to?
What works best for them, (and Emerald, Commercial Electric, etc.) is avoiding them like the plague.I installed utilitech new construction lowes generic brand i think. Im normally a patient person but they where about to be ripped out and thrown across the room. i restrained and just threw the screw driver haha.. not getting them again.
As far as IC/non-IC goes it can be anything and it can be nothing.
SOME cans (Halo H7UICT and Lightolier 1XXXIC) have a big square box around the inner can. These are typically air-tite housings.
SOME cans (Halo H7ICT) have a baffle above the socket and a prong preventing the socket frame from being adjusted upward.
SOME cans (Lightolier Lytening series) have NO difference between IC and non. The trim and installation denotes the rating.
SO...there is really NO cut and dry answer to what makes a can IC or not.
