Review on πŸ”† Enhance Your Space with Juno Lighting 449 WH Retrofit Downlight by Carlos Abood

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not suitable for MR16 lamps. Avoid!

Product description says "449-WH can be used with IC44N/IC44W/IC44S/TC44/TC44V/TC44S/TC44R chassis." I have an IC44N chassis. IT DOES NOT FIT! You will need an adapter ring, Juno part number 4TSA. Juno replaces the original housing's spring-loaded wires with force-fit circuitry, and the point here requires that you have newer force-fit housings to work with. If not, buy an adapter. Thanks for the info in the description! According to the description, this lamp is to be operated with a "Halogen lamp MR16 LV 50W". But the standard M16 bulb is too big to fit in the bracket leaving room for the IC44N package connector. I've bought smaller 3rd party connectors with no heat shield from the original IC44N package and also bought MR16 LED bulbs which emit much less heat but still don't have enough space to install. Wow! Why are designs so far from specs? In any case, don't worry about this device. You cannot use standard bulbs and you cannot modify Juno shells. This is complete nonsense - don't worry. I'll get mine back soon.

Pros
  • Dry strength
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other options
