That makes sense. I wonder why they published that article. I think it was within the last year, probably in This Old House. I haven't seen any air tight lights except in showers, even in our new construction. Or, are they air tight without a lens cover? I only used IC whenever I did work, which is a while ago now. They shouldn't even make Non-IC, in my opinion.

Different note, what do you think about using fluorescent bulbs in a Non-IC can that has insulation packed around it. I can't see the fluorescent bulbs making enough heat to be an issue. Probably not code, but in reality what would happen?

Somewhere I just read that Australia will be phasing out all incandescent lamps in the next couple of years.
