Review on πŸ”† Dimmable Certified Retrofit Downlight by TORCHSTAR by Avery Sharma

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very good buy!

I've wanted to replace the master bedroom's six 6 inch light fixtures on the vaulted sloping ceilings for a long time and it's perfect. I have a Lutron Maestro remote control dimmer that is not compatible with these devices. They turn on but don't turn off completely. I ordered and installed four of the six as a test and the dimmer works better with these LEDs than with incandescent bulbs! much more control and brightness. Warm white was a must as the others are too bright and have too much blue light which is very irritating to the eyes. I have just ordered four more and the extra two will go in the main bathroom replacing the two above the tub on the sloping ceiling. Update: The old Maestro dimmer needs to be replaced with a new correct LED dimmer. It's about time to change the switch anyway, it's better to have an on/off slider than a Maestro type by the way. The light is brighter than older 65W incandescent bulbs and has a warm white glow as described. Conventional spring clips are used for attachment. One of the fixings arrived with the rotating bezel removed from the case and found it to be a simple plastic tab pull connection and I carefully put it back in place with no problems.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
