Not only does the LED’s frosted lens prevent glare, but it’s also scratch resistant. Slim and Strong: The ultra-thin construction of this LED recessed ceiling light is perfect for narrow ceilings that can’t house a can as it only needs 2 inches of space.

Wide Usage Range: This LED recessed ceiling light can smoothly dim from 100% to 10% easily and is compatible with most dimmers on the market. The 100° beam angle and 90 CRI make the light a spectacular choice for closets, kitchens and even living rooms while the oil rubbed bronze finish is excellent for matching solid wood furniture styles. Waterproof Lighting: The unique waterproof male and female connectors make this LED recessed ceiling light an outstanding choice for wet locations. The IC rating gives this slim LED’s junction box thermal protection and can come into contact with ceiling insulation.

Easy installation, bright, dimmable, great!

I've just completed the installation on my spiked and grooved cedar curved decking. The oil rubbed bronze finish looks pretty against the painted cedar. These things are very thin, easy to connect and install, efficient, bright and dimmable! The build quality seems to be very good. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they last a long time.

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • Exorbitant Piggy Bank

Great lanterns for the price

Purchased oiled bronze shed lanterns on barn post, shed had steel deck. Headlight very easy to fit, clips hold well, junction box is designed for cables, cables come with quick connectors for cables (no cable nuts required). Using 3 for a 32' x 8' area seems to have enough light at night, not too bright or too dark. look nice, installed not long ago so let's see how they perform over time. Would I recommend or buy again

Pros
  • Don't waste your time
Cons
  • Negative moment present

Radio Frequency Interference - Interference from TV broadcasts and radio stations

So far these lights have performed as expected with one major exception. When these lights are on, OTA (antenna) reception is completely disabled from all but the strongest stations. The Q&A says they don't have problems with radio interference, but they do have big time. They also recommend not using the light at the same time as a TV or radio. IMPRESSIVE! I have a whole house full of these lights and Torchstar refuses to help! I see that filters can be added between the power supply and each…

Pros
  • Waterproof lighting. Unique waterproof plugs and sockets make this LED downlight an excellent choice for wet areas. The IC class provides thermal protection for the junction box of this thin LED and the possibility of contact with the ceiling insulation. You don't have to worry about our recessed lights overheating and burning out
Cons
  • Infinitely Slow

Simple - Excellent - Never install a traditional vessel again!

I installed them on a covered outdoor patio. IT WAS NOT EASIER! The inclusion of push-in connectors for wiring makes connection quick and easy. The spring clips are strong - almost too strong - and clear 3/4" thick lumber with ease. If you're installing more than a pair, do yourself a favor and buy a 6.5" hole saw. I have inexpensive plastic ones -Used push in clips. I had no problems with dimming - I bought a Lutron Diva series dimmer and I have no flicker. Installing it meant taking it out of

Pros
  • Multiple competitors
Cons
  • unreliable

So far so good with the electrics

Quality headlights, great price, installation requires less work than traditional boxes. We bought a warm white light to not attract too many bugs, tied them to a porch light and mounted them to a Skylark dimmer with a switch 8 feet apart. ADVANTAGES: • Price • Good quality • Attractive appearance • Easier to install than traditional boxes. • Brightness • Packaging and shipping were great. CONS: • With more expensive ceiling panels, the additional purchase of expensive outdoor cable is a…

Pros
  • So far happy
Cons
  • Will write later
