If you have an unfinished ceiling in your basement, utility room, or storage area, you might think that you can’t use recessed LED pot lights because they need a hole in a drywall ceiling. In this video I show you how you can easily use these lights in an unfinished ceiling without using drywall so you can add a lot of light to the space.

Great information in this video. They do in fact sell brackets for this exact scenario. Type in "recessed light bracket" choose the size of the light and youre good to go!

I checked into those brackets based on your comment and they will certainly work but seem to be more for when you are finishing the ceiling with drywall. I think my method is far cheaper for an unfinished area. Glad you liked the solution I came up with.
