Anyone here have any experience with recessed LED fixtures in concrete? Does the fixture have to say that it's suitable for use in concrete, or can it be labeled "suitable for outdoor use". Thanks much.

I'm pretty sure it has to be identified for use in concrete. As the chemicals in concrete can 'eat' up some metals.

And thier may be some access issues

LED fixtures don't like to get warm. They usually have a big heat sink built into the fixture. If you put it in concrete, it might not stay cool enough.
