The first recessed ceiling light I installed in my apartment replaced the ugly old double CFL light bulb that came with the apartment. Light quality is decent for a hallway, focuses on the immediate area, doesn't flicker and doesn't spoil the warm lighting I prefer for a living room. The photos show it with 1% brightness, full brightness and Wemo Dimmer off, connected to Google Home. Perfect for what I need it for. Significantly more headroom has been gained and there is now less clostraphobia.
