Recessed lights would be considered a penetration in the fire rated system.
IC recessed fixtures can be covered with insulation. Since insulation can be in direct contact with the fixture housing they reduce energy loss. The old type fixtures had to have a box of non combustable material built over the fixture for fire-proofing. Recessed fixtures have come a long way.

A 1990 300zx headlight is recessed into the bumper. To remove it, first loosen the headlight bracket bolts. Unplug the lights and push the housing outward. Be careful not to ruin the weather stripping for the lights.
The height at which you install recessed lights will depend on the size and intensity of the light fixtures. In general, for standard 6-inch diameter recessed lights, a ceiling height of 8-9 feet is recommended to provide adequate illumination and coverage. For higher ceilings, larger or more powerful fixtures may be required to achieve the desired lighting effect.
