Pot lights in insulated ceilings and energy-code builds need a housing that limits air leakage into the attic. The Galaxy Lighting RS2000-G AT is a 4 in line voltage insulated airtight recessed housing for one GU10 lamp up to 50 W. Galaxy states it complies with the Washington State Energy Code airtight test (ASTM E283) and rates it for damp locations.
Why builders pick it
- Airtight construction tested to ASTM E283 reduces heat loss and drafts through the ceiling.
- Line voltage GU10 socket, so no transformer is needed.
- Damp location rating for covered porches, bathrooms outside the shower and similar areas.
- Steel and aluminum construction.
- Lamp not included, so you can choose the GU10 LED or halogen lamp.

Pro tip from the counter
The airtight AT version is much bigger than the standard RS2000-G (12-1/2 x 7-1/2 x 7-1/4 in versus 8-3/8 x 6 x 5-1/2 in). Check joist spacing and the depth above the ceiling before you lay out the room, especially under 2x6 framing, ducts or bulkheads.
Best for: insulated ceilings under attics, energy-code new construction, top-floor condo and townhouse units, GU10 accent lighting
