I used these for the first time on a recent job and was pleased with their overall construction quality for the price. These can be used for new construction and pre-mounted prior to sheetrocking but I like to get a cleaner fit and avoid problems with trim rings by using an adjustable hole cutter to make the access holes the exact size for the light cans.
These cannot have insulation touching them so often prefer to get ones where I don’t have to worry about what I am going to actually find in the attic.

With all the new light cans it is not feasible to use the old grit hole saws and they make a mess anyway and I would rather not be coated in gypsum dust. Manufacturers used to provide installation information on cut-out sizes needed but now they just put a template in the box so it is nice to know that it does not matter what size hole I need to cut I can use my adjustable hole cutter.
