Revainrating 4 out of 5

Better than others but still room for improvement

I just installed them. I bought a similar product from another supplier earlier this year and it has excellent build quality but there is still room for improvement. PROS: The illustration shows that the lamp cable has a strain relief. nice for reducing installation time (the other brand was just stranded wire which required wire nuts). - The ground strap is also bolted to the case instead of riveted like other brands, making it more durable and easier to set up. - LED driver The junction box also has 2 mounting holes if your area requires mounting. - Smooth dimming. CONS: - The box is not big enough to meet the 2017 NEC volume requirements if you included 2 sets of 14/2 wires in the box, which is the case if you have more than 1 bulb from one source connect - the wall thickness of the junction box is thin and easily deforms when trying to push nanometer cable plugs (see image) - one of the lamps is missing a spring collar (see image) - product claims they are classified as wet locations. While the low voltage side of the LEDs appears to be properly sealed and sealed, the 110V supply side has no gaskets and knockouts that would allow moisture to enter the junction box even if not removed. Although they MAY pass the test, an attentive examiner will notice and notice the small junction box. Considering the price, this is a worthy value. Let's see how long they last.
