What I have now is an LED bulb sitting about 1/2 inch from the metal mount on the ceiling. Hope this is clear. Thanks.
Dear lurker,
I am not sure what insulation you are talking about. I have seen additional insulation installed between the wires and the housing. If this is what you are talking about, yes it should be replaced. If you are not comfortable doing this, I remember seeing some discussion able people that would rewire lamps.
Glad you like the LEDs, the difference is amazing.
