Aren't most recessed can rated for damp locations? That would be the requirement as John queried.

Thank you I never deal with recess cans on porches just wondering if someone has ever installed and which type I have been looking for something to install that was damp proof on porch.
To answer your question. Yes, for the most part, your garden variety can will do.

The frame and trim need to be listed for damp locations. You're likely to find that most cans have this rating. I've used Lightolier in the past which were rated for damp locations. I think that even the inexpensive Home Depot stuff is damp rated. It's really that simple. :)

It is...and yes, it is.
