Description of 💡 TORCHSTAR Dimmable Industrial Electrical Ultra Thin Recessed Downlight

Ultra Slim Design: This LED recessed ceiling light’s ultra-thin construction only needs 2 inches of ceiling space clearance, perfect for use in narrow ceilings that can’t fit a can. The solidly built metal spring clip creates stronger clamping for easier installs and longer-lasting lifespans. Reliable Waterproofing: This LED’s unique waterproof male and female connectors make this perfect for use in wet locations. IC rated, this slim LED downlight’s junction box is thermally protected and can have insulation come into contact with it. This means you don’t have to worry about our recessed lights overheating and causing a fire in the roof or an overhead joist space. Widely Application: The smooth 100%-10% dimming lets you easily adjust the brightness and this light is compatible with most dimmers on the market. The 100° beam angle and CRI of 90 makes this light perfect for use in closets, kitchens, hallways, doorways and even basements. Certified High-efficiency: ETL & ENERGY STAR certified, this panel light only needs 7W to produce 400lm compared to a 35W incandescent light, saving you $739.20 per set over its 40,000hrs lifespan. The LED’s frosted lens prevents glare and is scratch resistant. Guaranteed Quality: This light fits all new construction, remodels and retrofit installations. The aluminum light body ensures its 40,000hrs lifespan and is backed by a 5-year warranty that gives you extra protection.

Poor customer service

I'm sorry but I can't recommend these lights to anyone. One died a few days later worked great. I sent a message to the seller 4 days ago and am still waiting for a response although I should have received a message in no more than 48 hours

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Mostly good but...

easy install, great light

These lights are perfect for our new entertainment center. I placed three dots on top of each block, pointing down, and then three dots on top, pointing towards the ceiling. Installation may not be easy. Plugged them into my own dimmer (three for each switch) and they work great.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Annoyed

I like them best in body and fairing kits

They're relatively easy to install, you can't keep cables in a small box and the cable connector they give needs to be a bit longer (IMO ) but my above comment should not put you off buying these lamps, they are worth the money and they work well with a slide dimmer too. Durability? No idea, just installed.

Pros
  • Nice thing
Cons
  • Upgrade availability

Luminaire does not meet your local standard AHJ

This luminaire is not fire rated 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
  • Wide range
Cons
  • Makes me nervous

Hole saw size 2 7/8 "

Overall I am very pleased with these lights. The hole pattern is metric. You can use a 3" hole saw, but 2-7/8" gives a 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 worked dimmers however.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Long life

Great lamps, very easy to install.

I used these lights above my garage door to illuminate my driveway and front of my garage door. Good effect in the house. Looks great. These lights are very white light and bright enough. Easy to install, although the junction box is a little big, maybe more than necessary. The junction box also includes very good slide connectors so you don't need wire nuts.

Pros
  • Useful for more than intended purpose
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

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. foot or 40 square meters. Feet per fixture with these devices. I use a manufacturer recommended $22 Lutron LED specialty dimmer and they won't turn on with that specialty dimmer on the lowest setting. There's a delay when it's turned on at every level, from two seconds in very low light to barely noticeable in the brightest light. However, I like the ease of…

Large Lantern Set

These lights offer excellent light output and colour. 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
  • Guaranteed quality, this lantern is suitable for all new construction, renovations and retrofits. The light's aluminum body is rated for 40,000 hours of use and comes with a 5-year warranty for added protection.
Cons
  • Newer model could have been chosen

Pros
  • Reliable sealing. The unique waterproof plugs and sockets of these LEDs make them ideal for use in wet areas. The junction box of this slim LED ceiling light is IC certified and thermally protected, so the insulation can come into contact with it. This means you don't have to worry about our downlights overheating, which can lead to a fire on the roof or in the space above the joist.
Cons
  • No power

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

3/8 KO at 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 the assembly can be forced through the fairing. This will damage the finish a bit but…

Pros
  • Wide Application: 100%-10% stepless dimming makes dimming easy, and this light is compatible with most dimmers on the market. 100° beam angle and 90 color rendering index make this light ideal for use in closets, kitchens, hallways, doors and even basements
Cons
  • High Price
