The H7RICT can be installed from below the ceiling using the included remodel clips (these accommodate 1/2- and 5/8-inch ceiling materials). The fixed-position porcelain socket with screw shell provides consistent lamp positioning, and three “Quick Connect” connectors eliminate the need for separate wire nuts.
