Great lights! - Body and Trim Kits

We were renovating our kitchen which had 4 large recessed lights. We wanted LED lighting, and when we realized that these lights didn't have a real "box" to fit in the ceiling space, we were convinced. They were very easy to install: just plug the backlit end of the adapter into each power supply. We really had to power every point of the light, but we didn't have to lug this clunky jar into space, which was great. And in several places we needed lighting where there are rays and we were still able to install the light. They are very thin, probably as thick as drywall. They have a very long life, so we should have enough for many years. And I should add that we have 10 of these lights in our approx. The kitchen is 10 x 15 feet and placed vertically with the edges of the counter, they were a bit bright. However, we switched to a dimmer and can now do as much or have as little light as possible. The lights are designed to be used with dimmer switches and do not need to "warm up" before being fully illuminated. Great lights!
