I note that Walmart and other big-box stores are selling the Lights of 
America version as well (~~$38).  But you're not behaving sensibly if 
you buy that brand, based on my own experience.

Well, there are ceiling cans and ceiling cans.  The type that I have 
carry an IC rating (insulation contact), which, in my case means that 
they're under more than a foot of blown-in fiberglass insulation.

Incandescents don't care about heat, but I suspect that LEDs do.
