Good buy best in recessed lights

Good product. You can find cheaper but not sure about the quality. The lights were a true 5000k and worked great with the dimmer. The only downside is that you have to buy wire locks for the side of the box.

Pros
  • Feel good
Cons
  • Speed

good light. Inaccurate installation instructions

Good light for the money. Note that the instructions state that a 4" hole is required. It's actually a 4 1/4" hole. It's fine if you hand cut using the template that says it's 4", since it's actually 4 1/4, hence the imprecise instructions. If However, if you want to use a hole saw, use a 4 1/4 inch.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Expensive

Easy installation but pay attention to the color temperature

That's great! They were easy to install. I didn't use a template as I have an adjustable cutter. The color I chose is perfect (3K) as we didn't want anything that looked like an OP. Read another review that recommends lowering the color temperature here. 3K is ideal if you are looking for the kind of light that a traditional lamp would give you, but with high LED brightness. I installed 7 of these in a 13' x 18' room.

Pros
  • 💡 Efficient lighting: With a consumption of just 10 watts, this Energy Star listed light is the ideal economical replacement for 80 watt incandescent lamps. This ultra-thin 100-130V 650lm LED downlight can save up to 88% in energy costs
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Easy to install and great performance

I bought these to replace previous Torchstar LED spotlights that I installed in my kitchen a few years ago. Older models would turn on, stay for a while, then start turning off. Some had to be replaced as the transformers literally melted. There is simply no heat with them, neither in the transformer that is built into the electrical box nor in the lamp itself. I also installed the matching Lutrel dimmer. These new bulbs work great even after hours of use and dim effectively. I will update this

Pros
  • 💡Ultra-Thin: At just 5cm pitch, this ultra-thin LED downlight is the perfect light source for ceilings that won't fit in a standard housing
Cons
  • Large and bulky
