Review on LED Recessed Retrofit Downlight Daylight by Brandon Mcvey

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Better than others but room for improvement

I just installed them. I bought a similar product from another supplier earlier this year and it has excellent build quality but there is still room for improvement. PROS: The illustration shows that the lamp cable has a strain relief. nice for reducing installation time (the other brand was just stranded wire which required wire nuts). - The ground strap is also bolted to the case instead of riveted like other brands, making it more durable and easier to set up. - LED driver The junction box also has 2 mounting holes if your area requires mounting. - Smooth dimming. CONS: - The box is not big enough to meet the 2017 NEC volume requirements if you included 2 sets of 14/2 wires in the box, which is the case if you have more than 1 bulb from the same source connect - to the wall Junction box thickness is thin and easily deforms when trying to push nanometer cable plugs (see image) - There is no spring clip on one of the brackets (see image) - Product claims for which they are classified as wet locations are. While the low-voltage LED side appears to be properly sealed and sealed, the 110V power side has no gaskets and knockouts that allow moisture to enter the junction box, even if they are not removed. Although they MAY pass the test, an attentive examiner will notice and notice the small junction box. Considering the price, this is a worthy indicator. Let's see how long they last.

Pros
  • Body and Fairing Kits
