Can these bulbs be used in standard recessed cans or old-style floodlight holders or do they need to be installed with a conversion kit of some kind?

They can be used in il style holders and recessed cans and they work great.

Direct replacement. No conversion kit needed. But you may want to be careful completely enclosing LEDs. The heat buildup will shorten their lives. Not a concern in a recessed light can.

These bulbs fit in a regular high hat canister. I have used them in newer canisters and some that appear to be from the 70s or 80s. The bulbs work well in all of my high hats.

they can be installed in traditional cans as long as its not covered by a totally enclosed globe...such as in shower

I am not to well versed in this matter, I do know though that the bulbs come with two different connections and either can be used. Just use the one that fits and leave the other to dangle. Hope this helps.

No, you have to get the correct bulb kit or the bulbs wont fit in your housings.

I believe they cannot be installed where they would be in contact with insulation. You should install these lights in 4" cans that are rated for insulation. I do not know of any way they are able to be installed without proper cans.

Hi there...I purchased a converter from amazon and now I could use any standard base screw type light bulb. Hope this helps.

These are light bulbs not the recessed can receptacle. Install the correct recessed can, IC, and these bulbs will be fine. Super bright.

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.

I can't give an exact answer without removing them - and that's hard to do. The bulbs are slightly longer by about 1/8" or 3/16" than a standard incandescent bulb, and a bit bigger in diameter, maybe 1/8". The bulbs seem positional and you may have to move or reverse them in the socket to get them to work.

These are standard br30 lightbulbs. Id say they are short but are made for standard 5" and 6" recessed can lights. Most can lights are depth adjustable

If you mean the size of the recessed lighting can, then 6 inches in diameter is probably necessary. The bulb is 5 inches in diameter, and fit fine in our 6-in fixtures.

Thomas, these have a standard lightbulb socket. Therefore, any lightbulb will fit and work. I use them outdoors with the proper outdoor reflector flood. They are designed so that when I use the correct reflector flood lamp a nice tight waterproof seal is formed. They sit outdoors in the driving rain, and I never have a problem with them.

You'll need to read the specs. The difference may be that you can only use flourescent bulbs vs. regular bulbs.

No special bulbs- I happen to have in the energy efficient ones and they do stick out a wee bit. You may use regular bulbs

I am not sure. The fittings I have used are good for standard and flood bulbs. There is a suction adapter that might work.

You can use regular bulbs, the sockets are the same size as the regular bulbs.

Yes, you can use regular bulbs, and it is cast aluminum (top and pole) and the base is hard plastic (similar to the bases for outdoor umbrellas),

they use a standard light bulb base. So I believe the new LED lights that have that type of base should work fine.
