HALO Recessed Hi-Hat Pads

These recessed hi-hat pads for 4" halogen recessed hi-hats are easy to install. Pull out the existing flat cover and detach the back of the lamp from the glass mount Attach the bulb to your existing bulb or a new bulb to the new retractable panel - this part is a little tricky but the bulb will fit in. Lift the panel and bulb to the jar and connect the back of the bulb to the cord inside the jar.Now put the lining in the jar.Make sure your hands are not dirty, otherwise there will be fingerprints on the ceiling around the lamp Rotate the overlay towards the area/artwork or wall you wish to highlight and press down on the retractable part - it slides out smoothly and you can adjust accordingly .Here's the important part: These are NOT LED lights. These are halogen lamps. BEAUTIFUL, WARM, SPARKLING LIGHTING - Perfect for art or high-end lighting. These trim strips use an M16 halogen bulb - 2 pin rear view. You can use it with a lamp of the same size without pins. Take out the old trim and see what type of bulb is currently used in your fixture. BUY the right lightbulb. it is with bulbs. I don't know why anyone would think they should do that. I'm an interior designer and used these retractable directional recessed louvers for a Hampton property to highlight the fireplace and art above. I installed them myself, I'm 62 years old. The price was great.

Pros
  • For directional accent lighting
Cons
  • So far so good
