Can this be used in a recessed porch light?

I'm not sure. Probably would. Mine is installed in a pantry and it works great. Comes on whenever the door is opened.

I currently is in use in a recessed porch light. Door-side response is immediate. The entry path may be limited by the amount the bulb is recessed. Our light turns on about 8-10 feet from light. I'd like it to turn on a little further out but must assume that the recess has limited the range of response. Overall I am please with the performance.

Yes as jett G. stated.Although these aren't actuall bulbs so to speak. LED bulbs for recessed cans are coming down in price and lowes/home-depo have been running some specials. so you might want to try an led bulb that will fit your recessed can. Just buy one only and see if you like it.

A regular light bulb can be used in such devices, but won't give off the effect of a spot light bulb. It may not last long either because of the elements of weather, being exposed so much, whereas a porch light is usually covering the bulb. Only thing to do is try it so see for yourself.

Yes. I currently have mine installed upside down in an outside porch light fixture.

Not sure, but it isn't super bright so I'm not sure you'd want to dim it. It's a great front door porch light, I love it.

Yes, I am using them with recessed lights. Only thing is the dimming isn't perfectly smooth with LED's. That said, they do not claim to work with LED's at all abd I fine that they do.

I don't see why not. There is VERY little heat produced by the bulb. I used this in can lights on a boathouse pier.

I don't see why not. If it is too bright a few layers of tissue paper will dim it down (craft glue to apply layers) without affecting the tap part of the light

Yes, it is a standard edison base (normal light bulb), and yes, it can be used in a standard porch enclosed light fixture.

Don't count on it. I suppose if the fixture is well-sheltered like on an enclosed porch you'll be OK, but I wouldn't expose the bulb to driving rain. I use them indoors.

The packaging says "not suitable for totally enclosed fixtures or insulated air tight recessed down lights" and "do not use where directly exposed to water". But it sounds like your lamp post would be OK. Note that it also says "not compatible with photo controls..."

Fully out in the weather... I'd say no. But I have been using this in the overhead light socket on a covered porch for over a year.

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.

i am very pleased with these lights. i have them all over my house. i believe that they would be fine on a covered porch. they twist show you can put them in the direction you want. 3 feet away from outlet.

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.

I don't see why not. When I pull in my driveway the light comes on right away. I would imagine it would do same in front of garage. Plus the fixture is very appealing!

I suppose it could in a rustic capacity. I used one above my front door as a porch light.
