Review on πŸ”¦ Torchstar 6 Inch 12W Dimmable Slim LED Downlight with J-Box: Ultra Thin Recessed Lighting, 1000lm, 5000K Daylight - Pack of 6 by Justin Verslues

Revainrating 5 out of 5

High quality materials, nice warm color, easy to install but follow my advice and you will be satisfied with these led lights.

In our basement we have done without the traditional "can" lighting. We have selected these 6 inch slim dimmable dimmers that emit warm light (3000K). They look great when installed and produce a nice warm light equivalent to 100 watts before dimming. Here are some of the things we learned: 1. If your electrician walks past a wire that needs to be covered with drywall (or other ceiling material), MAKE SURE the spot is marked well! The position of the light sources on the ceiling map. Measure the distance in inches from the walls and from each other. You will be sorry if you didn't write down the 110 wires and the location of the lights correctly. We had to search two of us for the 110 wiring which was time consuming and not fun. 2. With the lights marked or positioned correctly, it is very easy to use a 6 inch hole saw to make the perfect cut in the ceiling. Then grab the cable, plug it into the included junction box, connect the output cable to the light disk, insert the disk into the 6" hole and you're done. 3. If you want to use a dimmer, use a Lutron LED compatible dimmer, this switch goes from 100% to about 5% with no problem. the same lamps. I was able to get all the lamps we needed by buying from both places. 5. The electrician who installed my lights was impressed and is now buying these lights for some of his other customers. He liked the quality, ease of installation, and finished look.
