Will this work with a recessed light fixture?

It depends on whether daylight can reach the electric eye sensor, which you can see from the photo is near the base of the bulb. If you are talking about a recessed fixture in a ceiling with the bulb hanging down, probably not since the sensor would be always shaded inside the recess. But if it is outside where there's daylight all around like a porch exterior overhang there might be enough reflective daylight to turn it off.

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.

I don't think so. But I'm not sure. Mine has photo eye directly exposed to the ambient light source (daylight) and it turns on at dust and off at dawn like clockwork.

I don't think so. My guess is that if the sensor is blocked by the fixture, the light would always be on; if it is NOT blocked, the fixture's reflector may reflect light back on to the sensor, thus turning it off and on repeatedly at night. The bulb is designed to operate with a relatively unobstructed outside view. They work great for me in light post and wall mount carriage house-type glass and metal fixtures.

First this comes in two sizes;make sure the R20 is the bulb you want. Next, I do not have this on a dimmer but if the recessed can you have is on a dimmer I see no reason why this wont work with a dimmer as it acts just an extension.

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.

Hi I think it would work the bulb gives off little heat. But check to make sure it would fit in the fixture your planning to use

The assembly is larger than a normal light switch in length and width. The electronics and remote sensor is hidden behind the plate, but does not recess into the wall. Also the mounting screw points don't match with a regular 2 gang electrical box. For all these reasons, I don't believe it will work as you've inquired.

I am not sure, just that it was shorter than the one I needed. The white part of the one I need is 1" long. So this one is shorter by maybe 1/4." Enough so it wouldn't screw into the fixture and light. Hope this helps!

Yes in electrical capacity. Your fixture's size and shape is the limiting factor.

The Plug is about 4 or 5 ft. from the lamp, I am not sure how large your recessed outlet is, I have it plugged into a terminal strip. It should fit a standard outlet. The lamp is great, looks fine and illuminates my picture wonderfully.

It fastens with the little nut in the middle. Might fit recessed lighting but not designed for it.

Yes it will. I have several and I put lights like these on all of them. They work great.

If you can create a bracket to hold the fixture it is possible. Otherwise as given it is only for flush ceiling mount only

I don't see why not. It's basically an on-off switch. I'm using mine with a CFL with no problem (except I don't like the CFL's brightness or warm-up time). But the fixture works just fine in turning the lights on and off. I'm sure it will work equally well with an LED bulb (which is what I'm gong to do myself next time a bulb needs to be changed).

yes but you should make sure that the hole that you cut inthe ceiling is up against a joist so you can secure the housing of the fixture

I use a Cree 9 watt LED bulb in an outdoor fixture, which is controlled by the Honeywell RPLS531A. Works fine. Don't know about the recessed aspect but I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't. In my application, the bulb is facing downward, inside an outdoor fixture.

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.

No, this fixture is meant to be direct wired. That could also be a problem if these lights are wired in a series. The knock-outs are too small to fit 2 wires (one in and one out to the next light.

They work with incandescent recessed fixtures and bulbs fine, but they don't work well with most LED recessed fixtures or bulbs. Use the non-dimmer ones instead. Works on LED if there are 3 or 4 LED lights on one switch. I think a minimum load of 40 watts is required for the switch to work correctly. Most LED lights are around 10 watts each.
