Review on Hykolity 4" LED Recessed Ceiling Light W/ Night Light, CRI90, 10.5W=80W, 850Lm Dimmable Ultra-Thin Can-Killer Downlight - 2700K/3000K/3500K/4000K/5000K Selectable J-Box Included by Chris Beals

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Take the good and bad

I wasn't sure about these and had some of my doubts confirmed. It was a mess installing these. They are made out of very thin sheet metal that is extremely flexible. So the panel doesn't always lock closed and installing a few of these, the metal just sliced through my fingers. So make sure if you do it yourself you wear gloves.One of the controller boxes did not work out of the package. The downlight doesn't work but the orange night light does. I contacted the company and requested a replacement. They told me there was none currently in their wearhouse and it would be a while so suggested a partial refund for the cost of one box. I told them time was not an issue and I could wait. They informed me that they don't know when it will be available and again suggested a partial refund. I took the refund but rather would have had the working controller box.I gave the rating 3 stars for ease of install due to the flimsy nature of the controller but the lights themselves are very easy.Bottom line, you get what you pay for. Other lights are about 130 for 6 lights, you get 12 for less than that. I am willing to put up with the downsides for the cost benefit.

Pros
  • Offers enhanced safety features, reducing the risk of electrical fires
Cons
  • Not compatible with some types of LED dimmer switches
