Review on πŸ’‘ Amico Ultra Thin Selectable Downlight: Customize your Desired Brightness by Joseph Flamm

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent Previous - Body and Trim Kits

Like many homes, our living room didn't have overhead lighting, and using floor or table lamps didn't help. After a long search I decided on these lamps. Advantages Inexpensive, well-made metal body and clips are not plastic like some, color changeable, easy installation, beautiful appearance, low power consumption, lights themselves are thin, complete block (no need to buy a glass, trim and bulb separately) , LEDs do not heat up, can come into contact with the insulation. Cons The template provided is useless as mentioned, it makes a hole too big. I made a 6" hole which gave me a nice clean fit. When the light goes out you can't just change the bulb. Will they keep going? time will tell. Easy installation depends on your knowledge and experience .my setup was to unplug the power from the existing wiring,throw the new switch wire and box in the wall for the dimmer and then turn the light on.Luckily I had access to the attic and at 68 I can still( straight) crawling there. They weren't any easier or more difficult to install than other modded cans. I tested all the lights and boxes to make sure each was working properly and didn't want any of them to fail after installation. I went too online and used the recessed lighting distance calculator, put in the length and width of the room, it shows how many lights you put in for adequate lighting have to put. I'm not an electrician but have been working with electricians since I was young. I like them and would probably buy them again if needed. just my thoughts We wish you every success with the installation. ALOHA

Pros
  • IC Rating: Amico tankless recessed LED downlight has an IC rating which allows contact with ceiling insulation, meaning the junction box has thermal protection. It only takes up 2 inches of ceiling space and is suitable for a variety of ceilings and beams. This will not cause the roof or floors to ignite.
Cons
