Review on Globe Electric 91125 Integrated Recessed Lighting Fixture by Dan Barrett

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great option with a few downsides.

If you are installing recessed lighting in the attic or know you need to manage close clearance these are perfect for you. products earlier, I decided to try them out knowing I had a chance of having a set of beams where I had an HVAC duct. The units are more expensive than standard 3" GU10 LED boxes, but the advantage is the 'easy' installation and the ultra-small gap. I use "ease" because it's very relative. that the included J-Box is tiny. If you can afford the luxury of a serial install, you're fine. However, I had a box in which I had to connect 3 sets of cables. It was a problem. I had to remove the included push in connectors and use 4 port push in connectors instead. If you need to connect 4 sets of cables. hole!) Another problem is that the supplied cutting template is on a folded sheet of thin paper. I literally tore the first template trying to unfold the paper. In order for it to be really practical, you must first transfer it to cardboard or have a compass handy. It would be better if they included the template as part of the product packaging (other Globe products have the template on the flap). knocked out of the box and out of the perforation). This saves one step and provides more accurate cuts. One last note: this won't work for the new construction as you can't hang it on a beam (you'll have to install the J-box and come back). , measure and cut the hole later; Your electrician won't like you very much, but your drywall crew will!). It can be done, but it will certainly take more of your electrician's time than using new junction boxes. Other than that, it's a pretty good product. The processing is made of metal, the J-Box is also very durable. The spring clip is very aggressive and pulls the device firmly against the ceiling. The light is almost as bright as my GU10 LEDs but obviously much less directional so perfect for general room lighting. Make sure you get the right size for your application; 3 inch devices are tiny.
