My 8 year old house has can light fixtures over the tub/shower in all three bathrooms.

Can we replace the ordinary bulb in them with a flood type heat bulb or do we have to change the fixture?

thx,

Ted

Remove the bulb and look at the label inside the can.

They will list different bulbs (size and shapes) and which trim ring that is acceptable.

You might luck out with one that will take a 250w IR bulb, but most like it will not.
