Review on ๐Ÿ’ก Dimmable LED Recessed Downlight by Lemonbest by Rashan Jimenez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

There are bugs, but in the end it works great!

Just finished installing these lights. Moved into a house where my naรฏve real estate agent didn't write in the contract what can and can't be cleaned. It wasn't very specific, and guess what, the previous owners took away every ceiling fan they could get their hands on, along with pool cleaner and water softener. live and learn Kind of a blessing though. The house was built in 2002 and still has the feel of burnished brass with gold plating. I'm a modern guy and I knew those lights would eventually go out after all. Bought 4 at a reduced price. To test them, I gutted the transformer's two-wire power cable. Connect all 4 of these lights with this wire and connect it to the wall. I was very concerned about the spotlight/non-diffused light. But I really liked the cool white color (to be honest, I'm already sick of warm white. It doesn't suit my modern taste). Also, I wasn't sure if 4 bulbs would give enough light to light up my 11 x 11 bedroom. I proceeded with the installation anyway. Now here are some important points to remember when connecting them in series: 1. Use a 14-2 ground wire. Do not run low-voltage cords from hot outlets to any appliance. If you do this, make sure you follow the rules and use the correct insulated wire.2. The smallest junction box with a lid will cost you about $1.50 at Home Depot. Due to the opening for these lights, it fits perfectly in your ceiling. Don't leave your connections open! 3. Tie all grounds together inside the junction box. Then ground the last in line to the light frame. You don't have a ground wire!4. These things get hot, but I don't think they get to the temperature where insulation ignites. But remove as much of it from the light sources as possible. Finally, in my 11x11 bedroom, each of them is aimed squarely at the corners of the room. Because they have a very narrow beam and little diffuseness, the reflection of the light from the walls serves to diffuse the light and create a beautiful accent on the wall. With only four such lamps, the room will be illuminated quite softly. However, I have to say that I have a 9W A19 warm white LED bulb with no reflector or lampshade and it doesn't put out that much light. However, I prefer the accent light they give off to the light from a lamp. I love them so much that I am decorating the rest of the house with the 7W version of this light.

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