Oh no, he ain't getting away with that. That guy reconfigures closets, fer Christ's sake.

[BLEEP], I spilled those beans?  Damn.

It's a loaded question.  Is it a 2x4 or a 2x6?  Notching a couple of inches out of a 2x4 isn't going to leaving much room for support.  I'm having trouble picturing the issue you're having.  I'm not familiar with the what the LED mount might look like.  You can't just move over to the edge of the joist or would that be too complex?

It flush mounts with the ceiling so the wiring and rectifier are contained up in the mounting box, which is typically recessed a few inches deep into the ceiling. However, since this light fixture is mounted directly under a 2x6 joist, the mounting box is very shallow and not deep enough to contain the rectifier and wiring. Moving it is no good because it is situated directly in the middle of a hallway. It would look funny juked off to the side. 

Meh, I'm looking for a workaround. Maybe something that will lower the light slightly but still look clean. Notching the joist is a last resort. 

Wait, here's a website, procrastination.com.
