Review on TORCHSTAR 4 Inch Recessed Dimmable Downlight by David Silva

Great solution for lighting modernization. Installing a back box into an existing drywall or plaster ceiling used to be a challenge. While you'll still need to cut holes to weave the wire through the ceiling, instead of attaching hangars to the joists, you may need to access the area from above (if it's an unfinished attic) and then work your way around Construction take care Heat is all gone, the light itself is 1/2 inch tall, drywall clamps and a wire connection to a box the size of two decks of cards. Plugging one of them into a Switch is easy, and it really isn't. It doesn't matter if you use 12 or 14 gauge wire, however, if you have multiple lights and are wiring them in parallel, opt for 12/3 or 14/3 instead of two wire options. I usually just keep strands of 10 and 12 gauge wire in different flavors at home, and. When I'm in the middle of it, I'm mostly secured. When I need thicker wire it's usually for something special. Today everything has changed, in the middle of shooting a series of 4 of these lamps together with 12/3 I stopped, opened Revain and ordered 14/2 and 14/3 rolls to keep in stock. Why? It's the size of a box, yes you can squeeze a 12/3 wire in it, but it's stiff enough that I spent as much time getting the lighting wrong as fitting everything and closing the lid. I had an old piece of 14 gauge wire lying around, I just played with it and realized that a small change can make a big difference. I just ordered another box of these lamps yesterday and definitely don't want to go through it all again. The only other change I would like to make to the lights is to make the ground screw slightly larger. I don't consider myself old at 50, but between your fingers and the bifocals, the #2 screws are just really, really small - thank god they're steel, so if you drop one you can catch it with a magnet ! Some 5000k is excellent, and the 100 degree angle works well to prevent the shadow that many of the early cans caused - unless you set them under the baffle. The light elevates any ceiling with a ceiling light. Great price, great light. I wish they were wifi but I'll try a TP-Link switch to see if that's a good solution.
