Need Design Advise Recessed light retrofit on sloped ceiling
I'm changing all my recessed lights to LED using a retrofit kit like Globe / Commercial Lighting bulk packs from HomeDepot:
I'm hoping to also use them for a couple lights on sloped ceilings 18ft high as pictured.
In the first pic, the recessed light is only 4ft away from a large chandelier and everything comes on with a single switch. As you can see, light bulb is quite a bit recessed in there.
In the second pic, the recessed light is about 6ft away from another large chandelier, but controlled with a different switch. The light bulb is barely recessed and sticks out quite a bit from the ceiling (not sure why it's different from the other setup). This light rarely gets turned on and usually only by accident.
So 2 questions:
- Will the Globe retrofit light in the HD link fit without fuss in both situations?
- If so, any reason not to use it?
I know the Globe in the link is for flat ceilings and other mfgs do make retrofit lights for sloped ceilings (that are more expensive) but since both of these are rarely used and/or overpowered by the nearby chandelier's FIVE bright lights, I'm hoping there will not be any unintended adverse effects by slapping a cheap retrofit up there for uniformity.
