WARNING! This is NOT a four inch case!

I took my trusty 4" hole saw, cut a hole and to my dismay immediately found that the case was over 4" long. I checked the Revain listing again - yes, it was listed as a 4 inch case! Strange. Looking at the details, I realized that it actually looks more like 4.25 inches. great, now what? Order a new 4" case and delay the project for another 4-5 days? Or buy a big hole saw with that odd diameter if you can find one. And without a centering hole, this approach would be difficult at best. Further?

Pros
  • Electric

Just strip the wire and use the connectors. Philips Hue shares the same connector as Halo LED downlights, so you can just plug it in and go. Now I…
