I would like to make use of some old 5" pot lights, which are basically a steel housing, par 30 75 w max. units, but I do not have the mounting plates, supports, or spring clips. I see there are a few holes in the unit past the bulb connector, which I can pass some 3" screws, where I could leave 3/4" gap between the can, and the 2x4 support, as shown in the pic. I would use a CFL 15w par30, to reduce heat also.
The wiring goes through a bx, and done in the enclosed steel box.
Would this be a safe usage? Other than the heat, I don't see why not.
