Is it safe to replace R30 recessed light bulbs with regular 60W compact fluorescent bulbs (looks not a factor)?
I have 8 recessed light cans in my basement but I really don’t like the light temperature from regular R30 bulbs and they use too much power. I know R30 CFL bulbs are available in higher temperatures but they are still overpriced. Are there any risks of fire if I use regular 60W 6500K CFL bulbs for example?
They’ll work, I’ve done it, but the regular bulbs may or may not last as long. Heat tends to build up in ceiling cans and PAR 20/30 bulbs are designed for those higher temps. Some regular bulbs tend to go poof prematurely with the higher heat. Also, the depth is gong to be different. PAR 30 bulbs are usually deeper. A regular Edison screw in bulb is typically shorter and even if you adjust the can so the screw connector is as low as possible, the regular bulb won’t stick down as far. This may limit the light dispersion. I put reflective inserts in all my cans for use with CFL’s…makes quite a difference.
