Review on Certified Dimmable Industrial Electrical Retrofit Downlight by TORCHSTAR, Ideal Lighting Component by Mia Parks

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Check the diameter of the standard overlay ring when replacing the eyeball pad

As this is an upgrade kit, I expected it to be at least the diameter of the glowing eyeball spot, but it's about 3/4 inch smaller than the standard Halo 74P eyeball. That's fine for a new build or almost new build, but it's far from ideal for a 30-year-old popcorn ceiling with dirt stains under the original trim ring due to air leaks. Almost twice the price, the Halo kit has the same problem of being smaller than a glowing eyeball. If you don't want to paint the ceiling, look for what's called a '6 inch suction ring'. It's wedged between the LED retrofit and the ceiling to hide a large hole or smudge, they're $10 for a pack of 5.

Pros
  • . Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Almost everything is there
