Re: QOD- 6/2/2007 - Electrical
Indeed.
That trim may well be a "shower trim". There are open trims (no glass on the front) that are shower rated. They have a rubber gasket built into them that seal around the neck of the lamp as you install the bulb. There are no such shower rated trims, however, that are rated for a standard A-19 style lamp (which is what is pictured).

Re: QOD- 6/2/2007 - Electrical
I was the guys to be more concerned about the fact they make MANY lights that are recess...not all will allow a standard incand. bulb in them, be aware of the wattage, be aware of signs of heat on the sheetrock around the trim, be aware of the OVERALL picture..not just is THAT light shown ok with that bulb...I happen to agree with greg in that the HEAT to me would be the issue on this luminare....but then again......only my opinion and we all have one so its all good.
