Default recessed lighting

greetings, i will be building a soffit? over a kitchen island and i have
a few questions. first of all i bought a six pack of lighting cans from
home depot (halo brand) and i got the type that can be touching
insulation. their will be no insulation in the soffit so is it okay to
still use there lights or should i get the no insulation type? also,
what would be the recommended distance between the top of the can and
the ceiling above? the soffit will be constructed on the floor and then
attached to the ceiling that has drywall. should i be concerned about
heat build-up? i am planning on using three lights spaced evenly in a 7
foot long rectangular soffit. i also would like to have the lights
hooked up to a dimmer switch.
thanks for any tips, input and advice
