Great hard to find product

I needed to turn a silly little CFL replacement bulb in my bathroom into a real spotlight. It was necessary to replace the outlet. Fast ship. I've included additional photos of what it looks like from the side and back for those who have further questions.

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • No power

If you hate fluorescent lights on pens.

Can be used to retrofit ceiling lights that use 'pin' fluorescent bulbs popular for bathroom lighting 10 years ago. Pull out the reflector, unscrew the can from the rafters, terminate the ballast in the metal box above the bracket to supply 120VAC directly to the new screw-in cartridge without a ballast. Now you can buy a cheap LED screw base (or CFL screw base) bulb at any store. While it slides easily into a reflector, expect to play around for half an hour before you can access and bypass…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions

Great product for retrofitting an E26 base

This is a great and easy product to retrofit a recessed ('bench') lamp onto an E26 screw base! For my 6" lamp can, each originally had a GX-23 CFL 2-pin base. With the breaker off and the CFL lightbulb removed, every decorative piece containing the base was stripped down; the original GX-23 base became loosened and removed from the top of the trim piece, and the original black and white wires were removed from each GX-23 base.This new Leviton 8885 piece was then installed (or clamped) into each

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • dim
