Why is it Important to Air Seal and Insulate Recessed Lights?

Recessed "can" lights look great, but when they protrude into your attic space, they can make your home less energy-efficient.   The purple shaded areas around the recessed light reflect the air leaks.

These recessed lights create open holes into your attic that allow unwanted heat flow between conditioned and unconditioned spaces.  In winter, the can lights draw warm air up into your attic making your living area uncomfortable and cold.
