Can Poal please tell - I’ve got 3” lights on a 1 5/8” lowered ceiling and the electrical box with the 3” light can go straight into the hole however the ceiling is only lowered 1 5/8”. The hole is too small to allow the box to go in at an angle.

Can Poal please tell is it ok or allowed to “permanently” seal the electrical box for the 3” light in the ceiling?

Thanks!!

I’ve got two brands, neither could cold start at their lowest setting less than 2 seconds. The one was 2 seconds but a double flicker.

Both would start instantly if they were turned on and off quickly / within a few seconds.

I’ve seen this issue with cabinet light strips too. I was able to significantly improve that with a non off the shelf ac to dc adapter.
