Review on πŸ’‘ SYLVANIA Dimmable Recessed Downlight for Lighting by Justin Quinones

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Dimmable Flicker Free 4 Bulb Kit

We have a million Cam lights in our house and the ones that were installed quickly burned out. We wanted to get the exact model number that the manufacturer used. Well it turns out that 1) we bought one right after we moved in, but they weren't sold in multiple packs and it's very expensive to buy one individually. 2) The specific brand we used is no longer available and 2) not even one and the same model does not deliver the same color of light from different manufacturers even if all the numbers are the same. So... what I LOVE most about these Sylvania lights (besides the obvious multipack and great value savings at the same time) is that they have a switch that lets you set the heat in five different modes: soft white, warm white, neutral white, cool white and daylight. They are interchangeable with any brand of 5"/6" regular (not skinny) recessed lights with standard dimensions of all parts. One end screws into the socket of the lamp, and there is a plug at the end. The lantern itself has a plug and they are connected to each other. The lantern also has V-shaped metal brackets - one on each side of the lantern. You squeeze the brackets together and it fits into the cam block already mounted to the ceiling. When you release the mounts, they expand again to hold the light in place. They have 5 inches of travel, giving you plenty of room to turn on the light and pull out of the cam block. We have Lutron Caseta switches that turn on half of our gear and they work great. No issues with light flickering, on/off, etc. They also dim excellently. They're listed as equivalent to 65W (but being LED they only draw 9W) but they seem quite bright. With old standard lightbulbs, going from a 100-watt bulb to a 65-watt bulb made a difference, but it's subtle: we've got those 65-watt equivalents alongside the 100-watt equivalents and the naked eye sees no difference. The great thing is that it is a trusted brand with a 5 year guarantee. Overall we are very happy with these headlights! It came in a pack of 4 and was very expensive. Very easy to install and we really like the light output.
