Yes, there should be a very clear label that states the types of bulbs
allowed. It might include variations of the fixture because many
recessed lights are sold in two parts, the "can" and the "trim". If the
label is on the can then it has to list all possible trims.

Test the voltage, anything below 100V is definitely too low!
(If you don't know how or have the tester then hire it out! Home
electrical accidents are very common these days.)
