Does it matter if the bulbs do not fit entirely inside the canister? 60-watt, CRI 95, 5000k Spotlights
Generally speaking, so long as the recessed lighting bulbs can fit securely within the light socket, it should not make a large difference whether the bulb end protrudes from the canister.
That being said, please note that as our BR30 and A19 bulbs are not designed for fully enclosed fixtures, we would recommend installing them within canisters that are not fully enclosed so that airflow can assist in heat dissipation.
