ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area CFL's and recessed cans

CDS.,

All it depending on which type recessed can luminaire it willbe if air tight more likey you will have issue than standard plain jane verison which they are not airtite and Non IC cans are vented in someway but with IC cans no it get pretty warm and with most CFL's with airtite cans I do see the screw in CFL have nasty early failure typically about anywhere from quarter of life to half depending on how it set up and how long it will stay on insteading of turn it on for couple minutes then off that is pretty hard on the bulb as well.
