The light does not match your local AHJ

This light has no fire resistance for one hour. Does not mean electrical regulations are required. Torchstar cannot confirm that the flashlight itself has a fire rating of one hour. I also contacted ATL because the flashlight starlight is flame retardant for an hour as they don't even know what they are testing for this light is non compliant.

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • Replacement availability

Hole saw size 2 7/8 "

Overall Very happy with these lights. Hole pattern is metric. Can use a 3" hole saw but 2 -7/8" one will do tighter fit When I first connected them to my Lutron dimmer the light just went to maximum and I assumed they weren't compatible with Lutron dimmers.By swapping the live wires top to bottom and vice versa the dimmer worked however.

Pros
  • Even an old man can understand
Cons
  • Some little things

Great Flashlight Set

These bulbs offer excellent light output and color. I didn't give them 5 stars for only one reason and that could be due to the dimmer I use. When I turn off the light, they glow dimly and flicker. This may not be due to the lamps themselves, but to their interaction with the dimmer. I've also installed larger 4" LED lights and they don't light up or flicker when I turn them off with the same dimmer. To solve this problem, I have to do a little searching on my part.

Pros
  • Tools and Housewares
Cons
  • Doubtful Purchase for the Elderly

Brighter than expected

Very bright. I normally calculate around 1.5W/sq. foot, but that's too bright for this equation. I think you could get 1 W/sq. Feet or 40 square feet per fixture with these fixtures. I am using a manufacturer recommended $22 Lutron LED specialty dimmer which will not turn on with this specialty dimmer on the lowest setting. There's a delay when it's turned on at every level, ranging from two seconds in very low light to barely noticeable in the brightest light. However, I like the ease of…

Pros
  • Downlight
Cons
  • Low beam

Fantastic product! Just as good or better than what I get in the store.

The only comment I have is that the junction box only has 1/2 KO on each side and only 3/8 KO on the end. The typical strain relief connector here is rated at 3/8Nm and is used in 1/2KO. Since they are only located on the side, this condition creates a problem when, after making the wire connections, it becomes very difficult to assemble them through the required hole in the panel. The connection is already very strong and the wire on the side only complicates the task. This is possible because
