Review on 🌍 Globe Electric Die Cast Push N Click 90738: The Ultimate Lighting Solution by Pavel Craig

I bought the Globe Electric 90735 precisely because they have an insulated contact (IC). At $119.99 for 4 (purchased 2/2016) they are very expensive compared to Globe Electric 90542 4" Non-IC Rated Recessed Lighting Kit, Swivel, Brushed Nickel Finish, Spotlight, Contractor Pack of 10 (10 for $113.99). I've read that the cheaper Globe Electric 90542 has an IC rating when used with LED lights. I emailed Globe Electric customer service and to my surprise the 90542 model has an IC rating when used in combination with an LED assembly (see email image). So I bought both the 90735 and 90542 and found that they look exactly the same except for one difference. . Model 90542 is supplied without a bulb. Given the price, it doesn't really matter. All Globe Electric downlights have a small built-in switch that ensures the light does not overheat, making their insulated installation safe (see photo). Model 90735 costs about $30 per light, while model 90542 costs $11.40 per light. Aside from not having a bulb, the 90542 has a much better price and IC rating if you buy your own LED bulb (about $5 at Revain). Otherwise, the two lamps look the same. The lights themselves are beautiful, easy to install, can be rotated in any direction and the nickel-plated finish adds a stylish touch. The included LED lights are incredibly bright. As other reviewers have pointed out, these lights are a bit smaller than standard 4" backboxes, so you'll need a slightly smaller hole saw. 8" bimetallic box). Bottom line: take the Globe Electric 90542 instead and buy your own lightbulb and save a ton of money!
