I am installing IC recessed lights (no attic acess)I have one existing light in the middle of ceiling, I am planning to wire in series (9 of them)My question is, since I can't get to attic there will be wires all over the ceiling is it safe? I don't see any ways to hold the wires down in between joist and punch through them one fixture to anotherUnless drop whole ceiling downMy understanding to IC recessed light fixture was made for this purpose, so I don't create fire with insulationsI just don't have clear idea about wires inside all over the ceilingThanks.
been there done thatNo the wires can not hang down on the ceiling, if on the ceiling surface they must be protected by conduit of some typeWire mold comes to mind, but with 9 lights and being recessed it could get uglySince most of the time can lights are relatively close to one another you should be able to precut all the holes and get the wires you need from hole to holeYou can also use a many other ways to get the wire pulledStiff solid wires work well for pulling long distancesYou can shape it to snake over the joists tooMost cans i have installed are no farther then 32 inches apartWith a helper you should have no problems getting the wires strung, unless you are doing this on a cathedral ceilingEven without help I have fished wire over 6 ft by myself just by manipulating the wireDaisy chain them and use the rework type cansMake sure the clips are snap type so they don't pop back outAlso make sure you have thick enough ceilingMost cans need at least 5/8 sheetrock to fit rightIt is okay to NOT secure wires in an inaccessable place such as inside a wall or above a ceilingAs long as nobody can step on or grab ahold they are fineSo in the attic space they can dangle just not below the ceiling.
Yes, if it has the Ctetani bacteria on itTetanus begins when spores of Clostridium tetani enter damaged tissue.
