  • Can I recess these lights?

    I bought these lights from Lowes today - Utilitech 240229 120V Xenon Accent Light Kit (3 Lights) - eBay (item 150405701385 end time Feb-14-10 10:30:41 PST
    They have 20W bulbs. I want to completely recess them in an area that will have virtually no airflow or circulation. This will look great, but I am worried if somthing might go wrong. Will this work with these type of lights or is this a really bad idea? If so, are there any kind of lights that are near this small that will work? Thanks.
    Let me know if you need more info or a pic of where I ant to install them.

    I wouldn't put those lights anywhere that the airflow might be restricted. I have them on the underside of my cabinets and they get as hot as a firecracker after a only a few minutes. The bottom shelf inside the cabinets get warm just from the lights, and anything that is underneath the lights gets hot as well, like my coffee maker.
