Review on πŸ’‘ Enhanced Illumination: Dimmable TORCHSTAR Adjustable Recessed Downlight for Flexible Lighting Experience by Trish Stott

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great light, almost as easy as changing a lightbulb

I originally bought 4 of the 4" version as a retrofit with lamps in my range hood. They were chosen on purpose because the beam of light is controllable and adjustable so I could direct the light onto the stove. The installation was very easy.As Torchstar lights have bezels I had to remove the old bezels which were held in place by two coil springs.The included wiring harness screws into the socket on the old bulb and the new light plugs straight in. That's all it comes with electricity on it. As for the assembly of the new light fixture, it uses a pair of spreader springs which are different from the original coil springs, but the ceiling glasses have accommodations for both styles. All I needed was two small staples (no tools, just my fingers) into the right places. It was so easy I just looked at the first ceiling glass to orient myself, and made the other three glasses without even looking. The new faceplates look better than the old ones and the light was so amazing (with less power) I had to add a dimmer. the work was just as easy. And then I bought 4 more! There are 12 in total so far. The dimmers I have installed throughout are the Leviton 6674 model which I bought from Home Depot. The combination works great together.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Lots of stuff
