We just removed a dropped ceiling in our kitchen and put four 6"
recessed lights in the ceiling. There appears to be a slight area
around the base of the lights that's not sealed tight. We were
wondering if there is something acceptable to seal around these light
in the attic to prevent AC leakage? Foil ducting tape? Just put
insulation around them? Spray foam sealant (we're hessitant on this
as it states it's still combustable after cured)?

And should we leave the domes in the attic free of insulation so the
heat from the lights doesn't tranfer into any insulation that might be
over the light fixtures?

Thanks!

Are the lights you installed rated for direct insulation contact?

I'd suspect that the metal foil duct tape might be suitable to prevent
airflow leakage, or application of a good caulk.
