I am installing recessed canister lights in a basement room and I ran into a problem. 3 of the holes that I cut out of the ceiling happened to be right next to several other cables that provide electricity to other parts of the house. The lights in the canisters are 45W R20 bulbs and the canisters themselves are 5 3/8 diameter and will practically touch these lines if I install them in the current holes. Will this canister get hot enough to damage the other wires and cause a dangerous situation or should they be far enough away from the light itself? Also the house is a '91 so the electrical lines should all be 90 c degree temp rating.
As long as the wires do not touch the cans I would think you would be fine.If the wires touch the cans then I would be concerned but if they are just close heat should not bother them.
examine to verify if the 2d change controls any of the the precise or backside outlet(s) on the partitions. If no longer, then it would be a existence like job to apply that 2d change to administration your recessed lighting fixtures in case you will get get entry to to the gap above the ceiling and the wall the change is fixed on, so which you would be able to run the twine you will choose. in case you do not have get entry to, this may be extra twine fishing than you desire to handle. additionally examine the set up training for the lighting fixtures and picture doing it without get entry to above the ceiling.
The cannisters will simply absorb the heat. The wire you are adding has a pretty good heat rating and is designed for such applications. I do this stuff all the time. Go for it!
