my electrician says these need to be installed in a can. Are there any cans that fit this size?

Does not need a can unless your city code so says. We did not have any problems installing without a can.Make a hole in the ceiling and push this right through it and it will hold. The transformer on the other hand was asked to be put inside an insulated box like a regular switch box (not sure what they are called).

I don't these are meant for can. I installed mine directly into a hole on the Sheetrock ceiling I've made.

Yes, I went to Lowe's and found one. I don't remember the size. I just took it in and played with them till I found one that worked.

We have it in our recess light can fixtures on the ceiling. They are similar to incandacent in size and screwon connector.

This is simply trim for a 4-inch can. If the bulb is appropriate for the light fixture, then the trim will work fine. It is nice trim. I love it in my home, and the price is right.

I don't see why not. They are under the maximum wattage for can lights. If they fit they should work The spot light I use them in is much more confined than can lights.

If the fixture has a regular bulb 'screw in' feature. It should work I have saved on my electric bills by retrofitting all to led cans

I had to raise my light bulb base up to make them tight. I had a standard 6" can light, which i had to completely unscrew wing nut on bulb base bracket, move bracket up, and rescrew in then they worked fine.

Yeah if you are putting it in an area where there is insulation I'd get the ic rated can, the fixture fits deep in the can so i wouldn't risk it, I put cans in a soffit with no insulation so I didn't use ic rated cans. But they are great lights they put out good light and no problems yet

You will need an oversized electrical box it will not fit in a standard box

they can be installed in traditional cans as long as its not covered by a totally enclosed globe...such as in shower

As a user the bulb fits in my standard recessed can fixture with no problems. The bulb is 5 inches in diameter... brightest led bulb I have found on the market great in my kitchen where I have 5.

They have to be installed in cans with tabs on each side to seat the springs on the lights. As another reviewer stated, if you have metal cans with no tabs, this fixture will NOT work.

They come in various sizes, so I suspect there's a size that will fit. That said, they work very well, and we're very pleased.

For clarity sake, these work best in thin metal boxes. If you go with plastic you might need to do some modifications or epoxy to get them to fit.

I had existing 4" recessed lighting that used screw in halaogen bulbs , the housing fit in a 4" hole through the ceiling,withe the wiring in the attic. It was simple for me ,to replace the halogen with the T41 , plus now I can insulate my attic .Go to your local box store and look at the recessed cans , just make sure you get one that has the "normal " bulb screw in socket . any make should work , but yes it requires the 4" hole

the cup that covers the electrical boxes I have recessed are approx. 4 3/4inches across and my recessed cans aka high hats are 6in across so unless the company make a wider one then no.Hope this answers your ques. They do look great so look into it.

The fixtures have adjustable clips that hold them in the ceiling. The side of the can has graduated notches they fit into marked with the depths in inches. If I remember correctly the maximum depth was 1 1/2" or maybe 1 3/4". I'm not sure as I was installing them on 1/4" paneling and that didn't apply. I can tell you that they light a 14'x32' room quite well with LED bulbs and pull less than 1/2 amp. They are easy to install if you buy a 4" hole saw and a wood rasp. 4" is just a little too small but a rasp will open up the hole without much trouble or effort.
