Assume you are asking about recessed lighting. There are units that have a can around where the bulb is located to keep insulation a safe distance from the heat generated by the bulb.

Follow manufacturer's recommended installation procedures. <<>> Don't leave your ceiling vapour barrier with a break in it.
