Pot lights in a bulkhead
I am installing pot lights in a bulkhead running under an insulated ceiling. The bulkhead is about 13" deep. Do I need fixtures for an insulated ceiling or can I use ordinary fixtures. What if I ventilate the bulkhead?

I would suggest IC (in contact) lights but I'm puzzled about "bulkhead". Do you really mean a "drop ceiling? Some recessed lights may not be suitable for horizontal mounting.
bulkhead - Definition from the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary
1 : an upright partition separating compartments 2 : a structure or partition to resist pressure or to shut off water, fire, or gas 3 : a retaining wall along a waterfront 4 : a projecting framework with a sloping door giving access to a cellar stairway or a shaft
