Have done plenty of research and realize that closet lighting is tricky due to codes and strict safety guildlines. Correct me if I am wrong, but what I have found is that you can use either of these methods, You can use any light fixtures as long as it has a fluresant (sp) bulb and is enclosed completely. You can also use recessed lights, but the can also has to have a complete enclosure or lense. I have also heard people say LED recessed but those seem to be pricey.
The problem that I am having is that the closet is rougly 6'X3' but that inside it has a kneewall with a slope going straight up to the other side of closet wall. There is only a small area of flat ceiling 6" maybe? Need to figure out the lighting asap. I was considering the recesseds on the slope but I am concerned about the amount of light it will put off because the IC rated cans (which I need because its going in a rafter bay) and the trim that is enclosed have low max. wattage.
So I am now thinking about just putting two fixtureswith flurescant bulbs and globes and I am wondering if they can be mounted on a slope? Can most fixtures be mounted on a slope? Are there some that can and some that can't? Can I go ahead and mount the boxes on the slope for the rough and feel confident that I can find a fixture that can be mounted on a slope? Not looking for anything fancy (it is a closet) Just a basic fixtures with a glass globe. Any input would be greatly apprieciated!!
Thanks
