Review on πŸ’‘ TORCHSTAR UL Listed Recessed Downlight Junction: Perfect Industrial Electrical Lighting Solution by Seth Damain

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Clean look, dimmable lights in basement with false ceiling.

They're just gorgeous. I ordered several different lights to decide what to use in my wife's office and while not the cheapest, their thoughtfulness and build quality proved to be the best. As a result, I installed 9 of these lights in a false ceiling. A room that used to have five 2" x 2" fluorescent lights, one track-mounted halogen light, and one Rando light. I reinforced each drop ceiling panel with liquid nails, nailed 1/8" thick fiberboard (MDF) to the back, and then drilled a 5.5" diameter hole all the way through. The headlights slide in and out of such a large opening easily, and the springs hold them in place with no wobble or gaps when you're done. (I had a brief incident where my 14-2 gauge wire was stiff enough that the bend pressed against the ceiling joist kept the light at an odd angle. Obviously this can be fixed by simply bending the wire differently. ) The push connector kit is easy to install and difficult to remove which is great. The built-in "box" is the perfect size to connect in series. The entire room is now hooked up to a Lutron Diva dimmer, which works great.

Pros
  • Body and Fairing Kits
Cons
  • Crumpled
