Basement and between-floor ceilings with no insulation around the fixture don't need the cost of an IC-rated can. The Galaxy Lighting RS2000 is a 4 in line voltage non-IC recessed housing with a quick connector, built for one PAR20 or R20 medium-base lamp up to 50 W. It is the rough-in can that pairs with Galaxy's 200-series 4 in trims, and electricians and renovators order it by the case for pot light layouts.
Why electricians pick it
- Non-IC housing sized for 4 in pot light trims, a smaller look than 6 in cans.
- Quick connector on the housing speeds up the wiring at rough-in.
- Takes a PAR20 or R20 medium-base lamp up to 50 W (lamp not included).
- Damp location rating per Galaxy, with a CSA or equivalent safety listing.
- Galaxy lists 15 matching trims, including gimbal, baffle and eyeball styles in the 201 to 216 series.

Pro tip from the counter
Non-IC means insulation must stay clear of the can, and a 50 W lamp makes real heat inside it. Use the RS2000 in basement and between-floor ceilings; for a top-floor ceiling under attic insulation, order Galaxy's IC airtight RS2000IC/AT-S instead of trying to box the insulation away from this housing.
Best for: basement pot light layouts, between-floor ceilings with no insulation, accent lighting with 4 in trims, renovation contractors
