Is this bulb suitable for recessed "can" with shower lens ??

LED lights require an opening so they will not over heat and shorten life of Bulb. So without the lens covering bulb it will be fine but with lens it will shorten bulb life

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.

On bulbs.com they say not to enclose an LED bulb because it will shorten the bulb life. Check it yourself but everything I have read on LED bulbs says not to enclose these bulbs.

You would have to have a shroud big enough to fit the light. Other than that, I can see no reason why this wouldn't work as a recessed light. That being said you would have to have a pretty substantial sized shroud. I know in my backyard, they are not recessed.

should be fine in a 12" duct, the bulb only extends about 9" into the plenum.

My handyman used 6" cans. I used them to replace a light bar in my bathrooms. I didn't have any recessed lighting in there prior. He cut the holes ran the wires and put in the cans and they work perfect.

I installed mine in recessed PAR20 fittings. The Philips bulb is probably a little taller that a regular incandescent bulb. But, in most cases, you won't notice it because PAR20 bulbs are normally well recessed inside of the fitting.

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.

It is a LED fixture that fits in a recess can. If bought with the water proof trim it can be used in a shower. If not then you could just buy a LED bulb and screw it in your recess can.

I have a LED bulb very similar to this in an enclosed fixture above my shower. No problems so far. Because it generates far less heat than an incandescent bulb, I think it's actually safer. Most shower light enclosures are relatively water tight, so this isn't an issue.

Yes, this bulb can be used in recessed lights - but it is smaller diameter then my recessed light cans, so there will space around it. Here is the larger diameter bulb that fits what I think is the "standard" recessed light: Feit BR30/DM/LED LED Dimmable BR30 Reflector .

It works fine recessed in a can light but I don't have any additional glass over it. So I'm not sure.

These are light bulbs not the recessed can receptacle. Install the correct recessed can, IC, and these bulbs will be fine. Super bright.

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.

We just had canned lighting installed in our kitchen and my husband realized there is something inside the can that can be adjusted to determine how far the bulb sticks out. He adjusted several to see where I preferred the bulb to sit within the can. I'm sure yours must have this feature also.

I used standard led bulb behind this trim & haven't had an issue. Trim kit seals fixture well enough moisture from shower steam shouldn't be an issue.

If the fixture has a regular bulb 'screw in' feature. It should work I have saved on my electric bills by retrofitting all to led cans

Sure. Mine are in recessed ceiling fixtures and work fine. Keep in mind this type of light produces like one-tenth the heat of an old-fashioned incandescent bulb. That's why it is so energy-efficient- minimal energy lost as heat.
