Unless your home is heated by electric baseboard you may take it down if you wish. However the foil has reflective heat values, which means it reflects out the heat from the sun in the summer and reflects in the heat in the winter.

How do you install lighting in ceilings with insulation?

Assume you are asking about recessed lighting. There are units that have a can around where the bulb is located to keep insulation a safe distance from the heat generated by the bulb. Just cut away the insulation so the can will fit. Buy a fixture that has thermal protection and will cut off if the fixture gets too hot. Follow manufacturer's recommended installation procedures. <<>> Don't leave your ceiling vapour barrier with a break in it. At the place where you buy your fixtures ask for a vapour barrier plastic boot to go over the fixture to seal the existing barrier. The easiest method to install this boot is from the top side in the attic if possible. Make sure that you use vapour barrier adhesive tape to seal the existing barrier to the new fixture boot.
