Thanks, Jeff - I went looking at my local Home Depot yesterday and could 
not find any of the Feit units I was looking for - 7.5" recessed.  
Brought home a similar 6" from Commercial Electric thinking to try it, 
but after reading the fine print on the power supply block I decided 
against -  it is 115V in, 20-48 volts out, which seems certain to 
involve active electronics, even though the weight suggests a transformer.
