The Halo H7 can is the most common high hat model sold by Cooper and they have kits that make it easy to change them later for use with LED modules when they come down in price. Not mentioned by the seller but this is a air tight can and if makes no sense to use any other type in a house with the costs of home heating. Standard cans will leak heat from the house up into the attic like crazy.
Three different versions of the H7 for new construction only, for remodel, or for new construction and remodel. The size of the ceiling cutout is different for these. For the remodel one sold here you need a 6-1/4" while for the other two you need a 6-1/2" hole saw. If you are cutting through a plaster ceiling you will quickly find that these two sizes do not exist in carbide grit hole saws. Same goes for the Halo 3" recessed light cans that need a 3-3/4" ceiling hole.
I rely more and more on my Hole Pro adjustable hole cutters with all the new sizes (Halo alone has 11 different cutout sizes for its recessed light cans. With the tungsten carbide blades it cuts well even with thick plaster.
Hole Pro X-230 Kit: 1-7/8" to 9" and all fractional sizes in between. Infinitely Adjustable Cutter with Twin Tungsten Carbide Blades needs ¼ drill power of a hole saw to quickly cut Plywood Sheetrock Plaster Fiberglass OSB Plastic MDF Hardie Board

The H7RICT is the fixture to choose if you want a larger-aperture (six inches) lighting solution for use in a remodeling project where the housing will come into direct contact with insulation.
The H7RICT offers you some flexibility in lighting and appearance. The wide variety of trims available with Halo's H7 family of recessed housings allows you to match your décor, finish, and desired lighting effects. In addition, the adjustable socket bracket allows you to use a range of different lamp types.
Halo makes installation easy with an array of useful features. 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.
Available with a variety of trim options (sold separately). UL rated for damp location, feed through, and direct contact with insulation and combustible material; CSA certified; IP rated. For a non-IC-rated version of this product, see Halo's H7RT.--Josh Dettweiler
