[Greenbuilding] [BULK] Re: Recessed Cans in exterior ceiling - No?!

"IC" in this context means "Insulation Contact" rated.  There are cans
that are not IC rated, and you'd have to hold the attic insulation back
several inches from the can!  Talk about a hole in the ceiling!

Assuming that "IC" means incandescent...

Actually, IC means they're rated to go in an insulated ceiling.
