Review on 🔦 Torchstar Essential 10-Inch Series by Matthew Maxwell

I'm new to electrical. I can set up a fan or a light, change a switch or outlet, etc. But I've never really looked into backstage lighting. During virus season, I decided to learn a new skill. I wanted to replace two large fluorescent tubes in a basement false ceiling room to convert the room into a guest room. I didn't want to put recessed lights where there weren't any before, so I was glad I found that option. The first piece of advice I got from looking at lights and some reviews on Revain was that junction boxes need wire terminals. I was going to use some of the metal brackets I know (with two screws) but then I found out about the plastic mortise brackets. Bought a pack and it made the job easier. Each time I lit a new light I would knock out the metal discs on the box and snap these two connectors in place. Once Romex comes in, he doesn't want to get out. The only downside here, and it may be because I'm not that experienced, was that by connecting multiple lights in series and using twisted wire connectors, a lot of wires and nuts fit into a small box. Some of mine didn't quite close when the job was done and I taped them in place somehow. I attached the boxes to the floor joists above the false ceiling, just above the center of the ceiling tile where the light will go - make sure you have enough wire length from the box to where your light ends! I then used a Milwaukee (Home Depot) adjustable hole saw which was very easy to use. Set it to 6.25" to cut the ceiling tile. The bulbs held up. Replaced the tiles and connected them to a junction box from the adjacent removed tile. The result was perfect. I had to add a switch for this) Hope they last a long time!
