I am interested in installing these in my ceiling. The ceiling will be spray foam insulation above them, is that OK?

I am NOT in construction but I see no reason why foam insulation would be a problem. The light gives off very little to no heat, so if heat from the light is your concern, it shouldn't be.

This lights and the way they are design will not meet NEC. Article 300.15, 'a box should be install at any junction or connection point'.If you just cut a hole and make connections(wire nuts or push in connectors) you even risk the chances to set your house in fire if anything goes bad with this units.PVC and/or metal boxes should be used. I'm just making a suggestion. I ordered one just to look at the design and I would rather buy a different fixture.

I think so, if what you mean is leaving it without a protective layer inside a drywall covered frame. This foam meets fire codes to a degree, however, the safest thing to do is to call the Fire Marshall in your area (County or State if rural, City or Town if incorporated area) and ask specifically while describing exactly how you intend to use it. It meets code in my area, but it is not openly exposed but is behind drywall. When you call, have the specs of the foam ready. They will give you the best answer.

YES!! But you may want to foam wrap & paint everything after the installation, to protect it from the weather/elements.

Most customers mount these on the ceiling and cover the room below. Hope that answers your question. Thanks

Not really a good choice for that application. A better choice would be a light fixture cover that goes over the fixture that allow the heat to escape but not air. The cover allows for insulation to blown over it while protecting the light fixture and allowing for the heat from the bulb to harmlessly escape. Amazon sells Tenmat Insulation fixture covers for different light styles. Once you put it on, you can seal it to the ceiling floor with foam, then cover it insulation to prevent any fire hazard.

Assuming you are insulating underside, this product should work well. I used it to insulate the attic and worked well. Follow the directions spray evenly.

No Problem...These don't take much airflow to be effective. I use to use the same setup and was never at a loss for spray. Good Luck!

Hello Irtafa, The type of foam you should use and recommended thickness will depend upon what you're spraying to. What type of area do you need to spray? It may be easiest for me to help over the phone. If you get a chance, please give us a call at 800-516-0949 so we can help you get your project underway. Thanks! Linda Foam It Green

I have 200 space. Totally uninsulated high ceiling no insulation on exposed roof or walls. I have 2 of the heaters 1 at each end of building. Depending on out side temp the heaters keep the bld. above freezing. We have temps in single digits. I have 4 black ones 1 white one. Recommend black, white has burn off smell.heaters work well

I would not use these at all in a ceiling fan. I blew my fans entire electrical system with them and had to pay an electrician to come fix it. Steve

In an uninsulated ceiling no, in an insulated ceiling yes to maintain clearance to insulation

Yes. You're only limitation should be the height of your ceiling. We have these strung over our son's high bar in the back yard. He pushes them to the side when he wants to practice on the bar and then he puts them back in the middle when he wants to use them for muscle ups ect. We have even had them out in the rain and sun (probably not advisable) since we got them and they still look new. really solidly built.

How about foam pipe insulation? Secure maybe with some type of tape or maybe zip ties?

Yes they will adhere to the ceiling fine. When the heat is turned on they have a tendency to fall of the wall. Not all of them but a few will come off of the wall because of the adhesive. Be sure to purchase an extra bag of adhesive strips. They have been on my wall for 2 years and I have never had to replace more than 5-6 a year. The glow in the dark is beautiful. Just be sure to put them on the right side during installation.

I agree with David A. Senechal. Your best bet is to use drywall tape, assuming your ceiling is of drywall construction.

Spray generally won't work (it will eat the Styrofoam), a good latex paint with either a brush or roller works real easy. If you have a large area you could set up a sprayer with latex paint, that would be fine. We did the open ceiling area on the ceiling with a brush, and the edges of the ceiling we did on a bench and installed them after the paint was dry.Good luck!

yes,you can mix paint in the material to be sprayed but it won't have the same look as a rolled or sprayed ceiling.The paint really just helps the material bond better,paint is inside the material and not coated on the outside.I would mix it with the pop corn type ceiling texture as you don't paint it when new.Orange peel and spatter and knock down types you need to prime anyway.
