I have avoided using halogen recessed lighting because of my abiding concerns with overheating. Those days are over with the LRP-38.
The Cree LRP-38 comes as a screw-in replacement for existing halogen lightbulbs; or with a 2-pin GU24 connector for use in California, conforming with Title 24 (California's energy code).
