Does this work with recessed can light fixtures?

yeah it should work nicely. i use it in a recessed metal fixture on our garage overhang and plug the christmas icicle lights with an adapter. i can turn them on from inside my cozy house instead of walking into the cold garage to flip the switch.

Yes, that is where I have it. However, I have an extension (can fixture, receiver then the extension) so the heat lamp is closer. I do not know if the transmitter can see the receiver without the extension. But mine works great. I have it in one of the light fixtures. It goes off automatically when I flip the switch or by remote, but only goes on with the remote - which works great for me.

I looked on line and it looks like a standard 6" recessed can, so it should be easy. Screw the pigtail into the light socket, connect the pigtail to the light, then clip the wires on the light into the hooks inside the recessed can & push flush with ceiling.

Yes essentially, the only difference I can tell when installed, is the area that emits light is a slightly smaller diameter than the standard bulb. This is barely noticeable differencein my recessed light.

yes....they have a light bulb like screw in connection....they are heavy so the attachment to the wall of the can is important...so pay attention to how the metal wire brackets fit into holder on the side of the can...not well explained in instructions but you can figure it out

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.

The recessed can fixture has an over temperature limit switch built in. If the can is not rated for direct insulation contact and insulation touches it, it will likely overheat. THe bulb will flash disconnect then turn on again only to repeat as it heats up again. Test in a floor lamp or other open fixture to rule out the can.Photocell in the circuit is the other possibility, but if you swapped it to another location where another bulb worked fine then a bad bulb is the most likely culpret.

I am using it on a kitchen light that has 4 small incandescent candelabra style bulbs. Works great on those. If your using incandescent bulbs and their not over-sized, it should be okay. I don't know if it would work on fluorescent type lighting.

It works fine with my recessed LEDs. Perhaps your LEDs are not dimmable or not wired correctly. I have multiple circuits controlled by LRM-AS120 mostly with Lithonia Lighting 6 in. Recessed White LED Baffle Downlight Model # 6BPMW M4. Very smooth dimming.

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.

We have it in our recess light can fixtures on the ceiling. They are similar to incandacent in size and screwon connector.

I believe you can use these anywhere you can use a regular incandescent light bulb. There may be larger safety question about the fixture(s) you will be putting them into. Except for can lighting designed for shower installations, I have never heard of recessed/can lights being installed outside. I would check with the installer and/or fixture manufacturer to be sure what you have is "approved for wet areas". I might also check your local electrical code for outside lighting fixtures.

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.

This would be a problem. The adapter with the bulb measure about 7" and probably would not be recessed. Anothr problem would be the control cord sticking out of the side of the adapter. You would have to modify the recessed can to accept this.

This type is intended for a circular can but comes with both wiring harnesses for junction box and screw bulb attachments. Hooks hold it into the can but are not permanent meaning it doesn't screw into anything. Just hangs there secured by the pressure hooks.

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.

LEDs generate very little heat compared to cfl or incandescent bulbs. If your can had either of these type of bulbs you should be okay. Insulated ceiling type cans are fairly standard in newer construction. Hope this helps

Yes. Check the specifications for height and the height of your light unit, also.
