Question:

installing blown in insulation over canned lights?

I want to have cellulose insulation blown in my attic, which has inadequate insulation, but I am concerned about canned ceiling lights I have in the Kitchen and living room ceilings being covered by insulationI don't know if they can be covered without becoming a fire hazard? I use only cfl bulbs, which are cooler.

Answer:

Well you have to elaborate dol, what kind of Vegetarian are you?? What are your foods that you will eat and what wont you eat?? There are way to many vegan diets out there to answer this one correctly off the cuff.
The can lights must be covered by fire resistant cardboard boxes before the insulation is blown in, available from the electric company or even the Insulating company, or there is a fire hazard if there is an incandescent bulbs in itEven with cfl bulbs, another person or owner could put them in not knowing about the hazard.
