I bought a house that someone (some idiot) added a 200 sq ft room onto, and did not insulate the ceiling.
I bought some R25 today to roll out and it says "CAUTION;Insulation must be kept three inches away from recessed lighting fixtures unless they are marked "I.C." (insulated ceiling) - designed for direct insulation contact. Insulation placed over unrated fixtures may cause overheating and start a fire.
What exactly are they talking about?
Every room in my house has ( including the one added on) has the plain ole metal conduit boxes with ceiling fans attached.
This isn't a fire hazed, is it? Meaning that ALL of my "fixtures" have insulation over them from when the house was built.
The house was built in 84, Florida.
