Finding the right fixture for thick ceilings is one of the most common requests USAI Lighting receives. Ceiling thickness plays a critical role in recessed lighting design. Beyond standard drywall, materials like plaster, wood, or acoustic panels demand specialized fixtures engineered for precision and performance. USAI Lighting offers an extensive platform of products with a wide range of housing, shapes, and sizes—providing versatile solutions that accommodate even the most challenging ceiling conditions.

Engineering Solutions for Challenging Ceilings
At USAI Lighting, our commitment to architectural versatility is realized through precise engineering that addresses a spectrum of ceiling depths. Our solutions feature two primary methods for accommodating non-standard construction via the collar mechanism:
Standard or Adjustable Collars: Certain fixtures incorporate collars that are either fixed (designed to accept a specific maximum thickness, such as 1") or adjustable (offering inherent flexibility to span thicker materials) to provide a precise, flush finish.
Collar Extender Accessories: For ceiling depths exceeding the capacity of the standard collar, select models utilize specialized collar extenders. These accessories are precision-machined to increase the maximum receivable ceiling thickness, ensuring a seamless and professionally integrated installation.
To simplify the specification process, our recessed fixtures are organized below by the maximum ceiling depth they can accommodate—making it easy to find the right solution for advanced construction materials.
