Quick question. I installed some IC rated Halo 6" airtite recessed lighting cans in an attic space during my remodel. I used aluminum tape to more completely seal off the units (gaps around the ring, the seams, etc - they didn't look very "airtite" to me). One is over a shower with a sealed lens with a 45 watt bulb in it. The can gets burning hot! I don't know how hot, but it would burn my hand. This one can is much hotter than the others that do not have the sealed lens.
Is this hazardous? Did my "sealing" of the can with aluminum tape make it too air-tight?
