Review on Enhance Your Space with LED FANTASY Recessed Ceiling Retrofit by Bill Forbis

New headlights in a converted garage!

I ordered these lights to put in my garage about a month ago. I am in the process of converting it into an extra room. Admittedly, I'm not a practical person, but I took this whole garage remodel as an opportunity to try things out! I definitely recommend these lamps! They were fairly easy to install, there was no insulation over where I installed the lights and I had easy access to the area above the lights as I have access to the attic in my house from the garage. I think it would be a lot harder if at least one of these things weren't true. What I did, and I won't give electrical advice, is remove an existing mount that I already had and add one of those mounts in its place and start a series. There were a few spots where I had to tuck the flashlight under the stud, but these flashlights are very thin and fit in with no issues. Now the only problem I had was connecting the wires in each of the junction boxes that come with each light. Each box has 3 wires that are pre-wired and each about 3-4 inches long with maybe 1/2 inch of bare wire for connecting. This might not be a problem for someone with more experience, but I found it quite difficult to make a good connection (twisting electrical wires together to make good contact). Therefore only 4 stars for the easy installation. Additionally, boxes that required 2 connections for the series to work were severely squeezed when attempting to close the box lid. Overall not bad for those who aren't very comfortable, the lighting is great and the price is reasonable! Definitely recommend these lamps!

Pros
  • Great price
