Hi all, I just joined this great site today and I hope someone here can help. I want to add a 4" recessed can light to a "artist nitch" wall recessed area. The main problem is the recessed area has a arched top and when the house was being built this arch was made from 2x4s laid sideways with about 4" in between each block, then covered with drywall and plaster. I know these remodel 4" recessed lights normaly get pushed up and contact the dry wall to hold them up, but I will have to cut a 3"-4" hole thru the drywall and wood 2x4. Do you think I can just screw in the sides of the light housing to the wood to hold it up and tight to the drywall? As far as the wiring goes and heat from the fixture, above the arch is a air space of about a foot + 1/2 with a wooden cap, then the insulation is on the outside of this cap in the attic. Thanks for any help or advice
