Review on ๐Ÿ’ก Efficient Downlight Recessed Retrofit Ceiling Fixture: Enhanced Illumination Solution by Robert Rick

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Good LED recessed light but cover is difficult (sometimes very difficult) to rotate or remove (updated)

I am very happy with this recessed LED light after it was installed so why 3 stars ? It's quite difficult to rotate the cover (or maybe I should call it the lens) on the unit, which you have to do to gain access to the mounting screws. I originally gave it 5 stars because the first four I had a hard time putting the covers on and off and once installed they looked and worked great. Considering there is rarely a need to remove and replace the cover, I've decided to leave 5 stars. However, after installing 8 more I had to cut off one of the three plastic tabs holding the cover in place to remove it. Believe me, I tried everything I could before resorting to a Dremel. The remaining 2 tabs seem to hold it in place. Some others were almost impossible to remove/replace but I managed not to break. So I downgraded the rating to 3 stars because these covers are actually much more difficult to remove/replace than is reasonable. Some are easier than others, so maybe a quality control issue?

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Requires power socket
