Review on πŸ’‘ Torchstar E-Star Series 3-Inch Slim LED Recessed Lights with J-Box – Industrial Electrical by Alan Massey

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Brighter than expected

Very bright. I normally calculate around 1.5W/sq. foot, but that's too bright for this equation. I think you could get 1 W/sq. Feet or 40 square feet per fixture with these fixtures. I am using a manufacturer recommended $22 Lutron LED specialty dimmer which will not turn on with this specialty dimmer on the lowest setting. There's a delay when it's turned on at every level, ranging from two seconds in very low light to barely noticeable in the brightest light. However, I like the ease of installation and the clean, simple look.

Pros
  • Downlight
Cons
  • Low beam
