Active oldest votes 4 in order to cover your recessed light cans with insulation you need to have ic rated insulation contact cans installed regardless of the type of light installed in the can.
Go to a home center and buy a fire rated recessed light cover like the ones made by tenmat for every fixture.

You can minimize this heat.
You can insulate more effectively if the cans are ic rated.
