Revainrating 4 out of 5

Almost a homerun, but a triple will do until something better comes along.

My situation: Most of my house has recessed lighting. And 80% of that lighting has a dimmer switch. All of the switches are higher end Lutron units.The product: Strait to it - aside from testing the actual wattage draw and measuring the kelvin of the light on each setting, these lights live up to the claims in the ad. From the absolute lowest dimmer setting where it's barely glowing to full brightness, they perform exceptionally well. Being someone who's sensitive to high frequency sound, these are dead silent regardless of dimming. With 5 kelvin color selections, there's undoubtedly one to suit any setup you should desire.Niggly complaints: Wish the kelvin selector was inconspicuously mounted on the outside for easy mood setting changes. The mounting hardware is a bit more challenging to install than traditional recessed light trim rings - fortunately you don't have to mess with it again. And the reason for four instead of five stars is that it would be nice if the light was recessed a bit inside the recess. There's plenty of room for it. Afterall, being recessed is all about not seeing direct light. You can ALWAYS see direct light with these because the light is exactly flush with the ceiling. Kind of defeats the purpose.Amico 5/6 inch 5CCT LED Recessed Lighting 16 Pack, Smooth Trim, Dimmable, IC & Damp Rated, 12.5W=100W, 950LM Can Lights, 2700K/3000K/4000K/5000K/6000K Selectable, Retrofit Installation - ETL & FCC
