[QUOTE="BearSitsInTheWoods, post: 4298520, member: 57421"] ^^^ This is good information a lot of people overlook and when purchasing the knew lamps pay close attention that your getting all of the same or you will be headed back returning them. LED lamps don’t put off much heat at all and as far as attic air getting in you could probably run a bead of silicone around the fixture to help seal it as long as you make sure the trim piece will cover it. As far as replacing with LED if your can lights are older it should be as easy as replacing the light bulb. The only time you would be retrofitting is if you were replacing old fluorescent tubes for LED and bypassing the ballasts. [/QUOTE]
