Question:
I haven't seen if it had a UL rating, but I was told about a recessed can from Globe Lighting that was Listed as IC, but only with an 11 watt LED trim. Are you aware of such a restriction? The LED trims screw into a regular Edison base and can easily be replaced with an incandescent bulb.

Answer:
Hey Dave thanks for your question. I'm a little suspect of the words "I was told about", "it was Listed as IC" and "haven't see if it had a UL label". Luminaires, lampholders and retrofit kits must be listed as stated in 410.6. It could be an LED trim intended to be installed in an existing IC rated recessed luminaire or it could be addressed by the laboratory testing and product markings.
