Does this work in a recessed light?

As long as your fixture could take a standard 60wt sized bulb screw...then yes :) I tried it in the kitchen...a floor lamp and then the ceiling fan light.

You need to look for one that says specifically "for recessed light." This globe is ok, but the trim kit up top will not work without a recessed light kit.

I believe that the lightahead is a little bigger that a regular bulb. Also depending on how recessed the area is you might lose some of the spread of the light but I think it would still work.

The bulb sits about an inch further with the light control installed. For example, I used mine in a recessed floodlight fixture...after installing, the bulb protruded out of the fixture.

It fits into the inside of the socket, just like a lightbulb. If the socket allows for a regular lightbulb to fit in, it should also fit. Whether or not it should be used in a recessed bulb is perhaps something that you should ask the manufacturer. There may be some heat allowances that prohibit its use in a recessed light fixture. If you are using large bulbs in the recessed fixture, I'm not sure how much clearance you will have from side to side as you swivel - be sure to check your side clearance as swiveling the bulb brings it closer to the edge.

John, this unit is not made to use inside of a recess can. It is made to use INSTEAD of a recess can. You will have to remove the existing recess can light unit to use this particular item. If you check into it a little deeper, there are units made to work inside of a can as a replacement. Sounds like those are what you really need. Hope this helps

I would have to say the light coverage would be every bit as good as any other type of bulb in a recessed light fixture. The lights are only warm to the touch, so there would not be any heating issue.

Hi Ida F. Yes it is possible to install in existing "can" for recessed light. Your electrician will need to install the proper box and hardware to support the fan and you shouldn't have any problems. Should you have any further questions, please feel free to ask.

Well, since my bulbs are installed in a recessed can fixture, I can't vouch for light coming from the bottom; but light output is very much the same as normal incandescent. Instant on and dimmable as well.

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.

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.

Mike I am using these for recessed lighting. Take note that in a group of 6 recessed lights I had to use 2 regular( non LED) bulbs and 4 of these LED's otherwise the LED's woudl start blinking.

The on/off switch is a foot from the plug. The plug is about an inch wide and 1 and half inches deep. I have never used a recessed outlet so cannot answer that question, sorry. My plug was put on backwards so the cord has to be twisted to plug it in. :-( It does put a nice light on the painting, but bulbs do not see to last long.

I see a lot of "I don't think so's". Has anybody actually tried these in a light fixture. Some say it needs direct like but others say they have the sensor pointed backward toward house and ambient light works fine. I would like to know if somebody actually tried these in a recessed can light. And I removed my diffuser glass covers because it caused too much heat and bulbs were blowing. The sensor would still be recessed into the can but only a few inches from the edge and not blocked by large trim ring and glass diffuser.

Sometimes the bulb you want to use doesn't properly throw it's light because it is in a recessed fixture. By using an extender like this, you can bring the bulb out a bit more, allowing it to provide more ambient light. Or at least, that's how I use these...

Yes , this trim works very well with the Halo recessed light fixture.This is the only trim you will find in orb color.
