I’m sure they’re made for the use you’re putting them to – I don’t think your cabinets are in any danger. A foot or so of clearance will be OK.
But I have seen fires set in the attic by recessed lightning.. So probably best to think along the lines of using a little smaller spot light than you’d want to use.
How much space should be between my faucet and upper cabinet? Is 3″ enough for a pull down goose neck faucet?
