Review on πŸ’‘ Halo 10P Trim Square Albalite Recessed Light by William Dean

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Expensive for what it is. There is no additional installation space.

Well it's a lot better than a square hole in a metal box with a bare bulb; but not much. The main issue with this item is that it doesn't support additional mounting types that your downlight may have. As this item is used for people covering jigs where the original fairing has either been damaged or lost, this fairing kit should include additional mounting hardware. I've read where others may have used springs or other hardware from a previous setup, unfortunately I have nothing left to use. In order for this trim to fit snugly in the bracket and the ceiling it's installed on, I used a drill to manually modify the installation bracket so the spring/teeth could hook into the bracket box. Given the time it took to get an acceptable fit, I'm afraid of ever changing a lightbulb. Finally, the foam padding is flimsy and doesn't do much to mask light penetrating between the fairing and the drywall. Really expensive for what it is and just a tiny step better than the bare body of the light.

Pros
  • So far satisfied
Cons
  • Will write later
