What it concludes

• Cut holes in drywall for recessed lights only after the finish paint is completely done.
• Drill in reverse at low speed with the saw blade pilot bit extending beyond the teeth to prevent tearing drywall paper.
• Lower-cost LED lights often use cheaper, weaker springs and lack rubber gaskets for wet areas compared to higher-quality options.
• Wearing nitrile gloves when painting and installing lights prevents skin oils from transferring to the ceiling and attracting dirt.
