We are converting an attic area into a storage area. In the area over the living room, there are two recessed canister lights that protrude about 8" into the attic. The contractor cut holes in the plywood so they can protrude through.
I am not concerned about the looks, because it's a storage area, but I am worried that someone (like me) will accidentally step on or bump the exposed cans.
I thought about building a open-ended box around the cans and putting some kind of heavy screen over the top. Does anyone have a better idea?
I'm just looking for protection against accidental kicking, stepping, or bumping while still providing ventilation and protection against heat build up.
Thanks
