Impressive quality, good for electrical engineering

We have an aluminum screened patio roof that attaches to the front of our home, so we added 4 of these lights per 3 foot wide soffit. They were easy to install as I removed the ventilated aluminum ceiling first. The aluminum soffit is very flimsy so I added 3/8 "OSB 12" wide and 3 feet for better support. The springs in the lanterns are very strong, so you'll need a hard blanket or support to install or remove them. We used Romex #12 for the installation as the circuit we are using has a 20 amp switch. The pin headers on the headlights easily accommodate cables of this size. The light was brighter than expected so I will replace the switch with a dimmer. These lights and junction boxes are designed for tough use and are therefore worth the money.

Pros

Long service life: The lamp and the junction box are IC-certified, so they can come into contact with combustible materials. The sealed design effectively prevents the heated airflow from diffusing. The metal body of the light makes it durable and suitable for use in wet areas.

Cons
