Finishing a family room ceiling w/ corrigated steel. I need to install can lights, but are afraid how the trim rings will look against the corrigations of the steel. (leaking too much light under the rings)Any suggestions???

This is just bizarre..... < Obsolete Link > lighting suggestion
Rich Beckman
*bizarre because it's identical to a question posted further down the list? or bizarre because it's the same person using a different name to ask the same question to which he already received 10 replies?
*It must be a trick question, and nobody has the right answer yet...
*At least nobody has to " staddle" over "corrigations" this time...Obviously, installing anything over corrugated steel or whatever these corrugations are made of, is going to pose a problem because of gapping between the peaks of said corrugations. Insetting is the way to go, and the material is to be precisely cut and deburred to fit cleanly around the contraption of choice. Build "something' out of wood or metal that will accept the fixture and to which the roofing can butt, is it really that complex?...fv
*sorry I reposted the message about the lighting...Had a new baby last week, and look through the messages and didn't see it, I thought i forgot to post it thanks..........
