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

CDS:
The 'PAR 30" CFL retro should be made to burn in a base up position. I suggest you read the info from the mfg., that should be with the bulb. A reflector style bulb, I sure would think should be a non-issue in a recess.

Keep in mind, a can should not be air-tite.
