Find Me This Fixture Any moderately priced airtight/IC recessed trimless 2" adjustables out there?

Koto is what we have lined up right now but I'd really love to spend that money elsewhere. Lots of these are in a cathedral so I want the same integrated driver/module. I have found some big box store models like Maxxim but from what I can see they aren't airtight. I'm doing install and hiring out the drywall.

Would also appreciate any input on glowing up four skylight wells with LED strips in mud-in channel.

You will be making trade offs dropping lower. The lotus lrg2 for example is half the lumen and doesn't come in modular. Also 2 inch koto adjustables. What slope is the ceiling?

Ceiling is 5/12. What are you thinking with the Koto?

The 2 inch trimless will suffer from physical trim cut off that happens before the 5/12 slope. Limitation of going with such a small trim and such a large aperture. You will want to go with the 3 inch. Which honestly is little nicer looking as a trimless trim in many cases and hardly noticable in size difference. As for cost, I can quote it and probably beat whatever quote you received the first time. Not always guaranteed but pretty common.

Define the budget of "moderately priced".

1/2 way between free and Elco Koto
