My kitchen remodeling saga continues. I was planning on using the
Halo 4" 110v cans (the H99 family) for all ceiling lights with
halogens or xenons for undercab lighting. My personal preference is
to NOT put in large 6" cans, but use something smaller with line
voltage. But the PAR20 bulbs are recessed quite a ways into the H99
unit.

My concern now is that with a recessed bulb, the light cone will
result in more of a spot than flood. And another website describes
the H99 as good for "accent and task lighting". Halo makes bulb
extenders but I've never used them before. Maybe I'm better off with
6" cans where the bulb face is flush with the trim resulting in a true
downwash general lighting effect.

Has anyone had experience using the H99s for general lighting? Other
small 110v alternatives?

I think you will find that the 4 inch cans are very inadequate for a
kitchen. Consider the 6 inch cans with the chrome relectors. I have
some 4 inchers and they really only produce accent lighting no matter
what bulb shapes/wattages I use.
