Anyone here have any experience with modifying existing recessed (can) lights for energy efficiency? The ones we have are about 25 years old some I'm pretty sure they're allowing air leakage. I know some newer units are completely airtight and attic insulation can be placed around them. I'm considering upgrading the bulbs to something that runs cooler (CF or LED) and then sealing them up airtight and covering them with spray foam in the attic but this may hot be a good idea.
Maybe there is some sort of energy retrofits that are available?
To complicate matters, the attic where these are installed is not easy to get to. I'll have to do some cutting.
