Had the same question. Fit perfectly as well, mid joist straddle. Just make sure your thin LED light is marked "IC rated" so they can come into contact with the insulation if present. The rating could be marked on the light puck, or it could be marked on the power box.
Omg, so helpful. I used my stud finder and realized I was going to have the exact same problem with one of my lights. This was the theory in my head, and you just proved it.
I have exactly the same situation in my bathroom project. These puck lights were made for this application, even though the instructions say to have 3" clearance in the ceiling above the light, "avoiding joists, pipes and other things." I'm pretty sure they're just saying this for CYA reasons. Hahaha
It is easy! Toughest part was figuring out which to actually buy. And yes the clips hold against the drywall. It’s actually easier if there isn’t anything above them. They really are a good solution.

Thanks so much for this video. So much better knowing you no longer have to be concern with ceiling joists.

OH and you make it look so easy.
Do the clips press against the drywall or the joist.
