[QUOTE="doctorjj, post: 3230988, member: 7292"] You can buy airtight reflectors and foam seals for where they meet the drywall. You don’t have to replace the actual recessed fixture with an airtight fixture. You do need to make sure they are IC rated (insulation contact) or you have to build boxes around them in your attic to prevent insulation for touching the cans. Retrofit LED’s should eliminate that as a necessity since they don’t generate nearly as much heat but I would not trust that for sure. [/QUOTE]
