[QUOTE="Achucker, post: 202269, member: 5185"] Changing a bulb imo will not help. A recessed light is a 6" home for air to leak. Forget about vapor barrier. There is no recessed fixture that will meet this. My thoughts are on the insulation. Batt insulation has gaps. This equals cold air in direct contact with warm air escaping from the house. Do blow in and it will have a "buffer" between the two extreme temps. Another fix may be to build a box around fixture and put batt around that. This is what was done before IC fixtures. Whatever you do. DO NOT SPRAY FOAM AROUND FIXTURE! this light needs to allow heat to be released. [/QUOTE]
