Will this work in recessed (can) lighting fixtures?

This would be a problem. The adapter with the bulb measure about 7" and probably would not be recessed. Anothr problem would be the control cord sticking out of the side of the adapter. You would have to modify the recessed can to accept this.

Yes it does work in recessed fixtures. I have it installed on my front porch which is a recessed can. The cord hanging out of it is not very attractive but most people don't notice and it is nice to have the porch light turn on automatically when I walk to the door.

It all depends how large the bald is because you will still need to have the wire exit your recessed canned in order to mount the motion sensor

I am very doubtful. I installed this light into my office, and the clearance between the ceiling and the first orb light is maybe two inches. Installing it into a recess will probably not work out. Hard to say without seeing/knowing the exact area.

Yes, this would not affect the other can lights, and your new fixture would be controller by the same switch as before. As long as your canister light accepts a medium base bulb, this converter will work.

Absolutely. I installed mine in IC cans. The "IC" just means "insulation contact", so the can has a heat sensor that trips the power if the can gets too hot - to prevent a fire. Retrofitting the IC can to a halogen bulb or an LED equivalent means there will be less heat generated than the incandescent flood or spot light you are replacing.

I have no idea. The bulb worked fine in my recessed lighting. I must have deeper recessed pots.

Yes essentially, the only difference I can tell when installed, is the area that emits light is a slightly smaller diameter than the standard bulb. This is barely noticeable differencein my recessed light.

These bulbs maybe used in table and floor lamps, open pendant fixtures and ceiling fixtures including surface mounts but not usually in a recessed fixture. If a standard size incandescent A-shape lamps fit this should as well. Hope this was of some help.

In my opinion the answer is yes as long as it is a CFL or Incandessent bulb.

Yes to both questions. It is like any other can or recessed light, you can put any bulb in it, it has the standard socket. The trim ring that comes with it is the stepped white one, we repainted it dark bronze, but you can add almost any spring fastening type trim to it.

I'm using the Phillips in a high-hat can fixture and it works great. Lots of light and the color of the light (daylight) is right.Hope this helps.

Yes in electrical capacity. Your fixture's size and shape is the limiting factor.

I would think this bulb would be OK for recessed can light, as long as you have a lens over it. This is not a spot but should work. These stay cool to touch never get hot.

They work with incandescent recessed fixtures and bulbs fine, but they don't work well with most LED recessed fixtures or bulbs. Use the non-dimmer ones instead. Works on LED if there are 3 or 4 LED lights on one switch. I think a minimum load of 40 watts is required for the switch to work correctly. Most LED lights are around 10 watts each.

Be careful. I have seen some specifications on these types of bulbs that state they should not be used in a fully enclosed fixture. For your safety, I would double check that this one could.

I believe you can use these anywhere you can use a regular incandescent light bulb. There may be larger safety question about the fixture(s) you will be putting them into. Except for can lighting designed for shower installations, I have never heard of recessed/can lights being installed outside. I would check with the installer and/or fixture manufacturer to be sure what you have is "approved for wet areas". I might also check your local electrical code for outside lighting fixtures.

Yes as long as they fit your lamps. I use them in my kitchen ceiling, recessed, work well.

My handyman used 6" cans. I used them to replace a light bar in my bathrooms. I didn't have any recessed lighting in there prior. He cut the holes ran the wires and put in the cans and they work perfect.
