Review on πŸ”Œ OSTWIN Recessed Electrical Retrofit Installation for Traditional Industrial Environments by Jeff Leu

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Easy to Install: Recessed Lighting

I previously bought a 6" Parmida with the same mounting design. I found the slots for the lens locking tabs to be so narrow I couldn't even put the lens tabs back in. I can't imagine how the installer put it there in the first place - removing the lens to install the light was a problem.In any case I decided to try this version of Ostwin.Found the opposite.The tabs dangle so freely in the slots that the lens is held tension free, just tap the lens and it will fall out (or an earthquake will rip it off) , that shouldn't be a problem Reason for less than 5 stars Easy to install, it is not even required to use the included mounting plate.

Pros
  • Universal Installation: Use this retrofit kit to install disc shaped LED downlights in traditional 4" recessed benches. Ideal for new construction and modernization. Also works as an E26 adapter
Cons
  • Requires socket
