Contractors Corner: Recessed Lighting Sizing, Spacing & Ratings with Dals

February 2, 2026

Clean ceilings. Even light. Zero guesswork.

Join Gescan Wednesday, Feb. 18, 11am MT with Dals as Martin Leguerrier, Sr. Sales Manager, leads a fast, practical session built for working electricians—what to spec, where to place and how to keep installs clean and code‑friendly. You’ll turn rules of thumb into do‑this‑on‑site steps you can use on your next job.

What you can expect to learn:

  • 5006CCWH — 1100 lm punch: where this higher‑output option makes sense when you need broader, brighter general illumination without stepping up in size.
  • FGM series — 3 in / 4 in / 6 in: how to choose by room and ceiling height—3 in for tighter sightlines and accents, 4 in as the day‑to‑day Canadian go‑to, and 6 in when you want a larger aperture and presence. (4‑inch is the most common recessed size in Canada.)
  • Spec by application, not guesswork: kitchens vs basements vs hallways—match lumen needs and aperture size to what the space demands.
  • Ratings that match the location: quick guidance on IC, damp and wet so the spec aligns with showers, baths and insulated ceilings—no time wasted on re‑selects.
  • Fast comparison: a side‑by‑side look at output and size choices so you can quote the right SKU the first time
