Hi guys--back with another question. This time on lighting.
I am soundproof-treating my room as per Ted White's suggestions. The only downside, is that after clips (even when blocked up in joists) and three layers of drywall, my ceiling will be around 7' 5". That is still ok for the room, but my lighting plan has been to build a soffit around the room after drywalling and to place recessed lighting in there. As you can see, I want to keep that soffit as shallow as possible, ideally no more than 4.5-5" if possible (I need approx 7ft of clearance from floor to bottom of soffit for other reasons).
Any suggestions for shallow IC rated recessed lights? Do I need to use lights with a standalone transformer placed elsewhere?
Let me know if you have suggestions. Thx.
