Review on πŸ”† Sunco Lighting 10 Pack 4 Inch LED Recessed Downlight: Dimmable, Energy Efficient, Easy Installation - UL + Energy Star by Ann Montana

Revainrating 4 out of 5

great lighting great color large size

I bought a set of 10 lights on the recommendation of a friend who is a very experienced home inspector. He saved me a lot of time by recommending them and glasses after installing them in his kitchen. First I installed in my office. Then I bought more for my living room and basement. I've used 20 and am preparing to buy a third entrance and kitchen set. They are the perfect slightly yellow color (not blue or bluish), the perfect brightness (always turn on more lights than you think you need, you can always dim them but it's difficult to add more). Using the Lutron Blackout Cassette Kit. The only downside is that the lights upstairs in the office and living room stay slightly dim, like a night light. The following are completely disabled. I think it's how my switches are wired to neutral or hot, not necessarily a lighting issue! Update for this review! I just took 2 stars from 5 to 3. Just received my 3rd box of 10 and below I had 6 installed from the previous 10 pack and 2 from the new 10 pack. Now none of these new ones turn off when using the dimmer. it just looks stupid. So I'm sending this box back in the hopes it was a bad box so I can have dimmable bulbs that all dim and turn off the same way! Update just added 1 star back. I found a workaround so they don't dim fully but dimm different bulbs by different characteristics. Connect a single night light or, as I have done with a single Christmas light, to one of the bulbs in your series and install it in the jar along with the bulb. This is a voltage leak, so when the lights are off, they're off. A lamp with a power of 7-11 watts should be enough. Find an LED attenuator and you will get more information.

Pros
  • Recessed light
Cons
  • Requires outlet
