Light Archon Bastion 6 in. IC Rated Airtight New Construction Recessed Housing

Light Archon Bastion is a 6 in. IC rated airtight recessed housing for new construction rough-in. The aluminum can seals attic-to-room airflow, accepts E26 medium base LED and CFL lamps to 60 watts, and pairs with retrofit LED trims for a fully integrated finish. Photometric output is set by the lamp or trim installed, so crews spec the shell here and lock light output at quote review.

Bastion arrives pre-wired with quick connect wire nuts and adjustable nail-on mounting bars that span standard joist bays, so rough-in moves fast across full-floor runs. The airtight construction is thermally guarded and rated for direct insulation contact, and the damp location listing covers bath and covered soffit zones. A ceiling cutout template ships in the carton. When the finish phase lands, the housing accepts standard 6 in. trims, including the Light Archon Strata selectable CCT retrofit trim.

Frequently Asked Questions

What ceiling opening does it need?
The carton includes a cutout template sized for the 6 in. nominal can; mark and cut the finish board to the template before trim installation.

Can insulation touch the housing?
Yes. The housing is IC rated and airtight, so direct insulation contact is permitted and attic-to-room airflow stays sealed.

Which trims and lamps does it take?
It accepts standard 6 in. trims and E26 medium base LED or CFL lamps to 60 watts. The Light Archon Strata 5/6 in. selectable CCT retrofit trim is the matched finish option.

Is it dimmable?
Dimming follows the installed lamp or trim. With a compatible LED trim and a standard wall dimmer the assembly dims normally.
