Review on TORCHSTAR Recessed Anti Glare Can Killer Downlight: Ultimate Solution for Glare-Free Illumination by William Mathis

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Easy installation and great performance

They were used for a new installation on my kitchen remodel and are used as work lights over countertops. So far we are very happy with the finished look and performance. I used these instead of the typical hi-hat lighting and here are the pros and cons in my opinion: Pros: - Easy to install. Just use a 4.25 hole saw and cut through the drywall. Even if you are on a ceiling joist, the built-in electrical box is small enough to fit through the hole from below and the luminaire profile still fits under the joist. - All wiring can be done from inside the room - the electrical box is easily hidden under the insulation above. - much smaller than typical hi-hat glasses. - bright but dimmable and offers a large dimming range. - a built in and very streamlined look that blends into my white ceiling. Tons of light on one circuit. Save electricity too! - Nuts included - Relatively cheap Cons: - If the light goes out, there is no bulb replacement. I assume you need to get a new device. I bought a few just in case. Hope this helps and good luck with your solution and project.
