1. An enclosure for a recessed light in an attic transformable between a first configuration in which the enclosure is flat and a second configuration in which the enclosure defines a housing having an opening at a bottom end configured to receive the recessed light and an upwardly-facing surface opposite the opening with a variable height relative to the bottom end, and wherein the enclosure further comprises first and second vertically-sloped sides and first and second vertically-straight sides. 2. The enclosure of claim 1 wherein the enclosure includes a plurality of panels each defining portions of the upwardly-facing surface and at least one hinge interconnecting two of the plurality of panels. 3. The enclosure of claim 2 wherein the at least one hinge is further defined as a living hinge. 4. The enclosure of claim 1 wherein the enclosure includes at least one aperture spaced from the bottom end. 5. The enclosure of claim 1 wherein the first and second vertically-sloped sides are each defined by single panels and first and second vertically-straight sides are each defined by a plurality of panels. 6. The enclosure of claim 1 wherein the enclosure is a single layer in the first configuration. 7. The enclosure of claim 1 wherein the enclosure is tent-shaped. 8. The enclosure of claim 1, wherein the vertically-sloped sides are configured to deflect loosefill insulation. 9. The enclosure of claim 1, wherein the enclosure has a height, and wherein in an installed position the height of the enclosure is greater than a height of an insulation surrounding the enclosure. 10. The enclosure of claim 9, wherein the height of the insulation is 20.0 inches. 11. The enclosure of claim 1, wherein the bottom end is configured for attachment to a ceiling with an adhesive. 12. The enclosure of claim 1, wherein in an installed position the enclosure has a top end configured to remain exposed in the attic after insulation has been installed. 13. The enclosure of claim 1, wherein the vertically-sloped sides are formed from low friction materials. 14. The enclosure of claim 1, wherein the vertically-sloped sides can be formed by adjacent panels. 15. The enclosure of claim 14, wherein the adjacent panels are configured to be attached together by tape. 16. An enclosure for a recessed light in an attic transformable between a first configuration in which the enclosure is flat and a second configuration in which the enclosure defines a housing having an opening at a bottom end configured to receive the recessed light and an upwardly-facing surface opposite the opening with a variable height relative to the bottom end, and wherein the enclosure includes a plurality of panels formed from different materials such that one panel is made from a material different from the material of another panel. 17. An enclosure for a recessed light in an attic transformable between a first configuration in which the enclosure is flat and a second configuration in which the enclosure defines a housing having an opening at a bottom end configured to receive the recessed light and an upwardly-facing surface opposite the opening with a variable height relative to the bottom end, and wherein the enclosure includes one or more panels that are relatively less thermally-resistant material.
