HALO 4 inch Recessed LED Ceiling & Shower Disc Light – Canless Ultra Thin Downlight – 5CCT Selectable- White - 6 Pack

I did not purchase these LEDs from Amazon or from any store. I hired a local electric company to provide and install the LED lights in our kitchen ceiling (got rid of the old florescent tubes). They wanted the install the 6 Direct Mount Baffle Trim LEDs, but I wanted the thinner one because they look nicer and they sit flush against the ceiling. They only stick out about 1/8 inch from the ceiling surface. Also, this model has adjustable color temperature switch. Since this is the first time I used ceiling LEDs, was not sure how many I needed or where to place them. After telling the electrician what I would like to do, we decided on six LEDs and the placement would be in the pattern of the number six on a dice. This pattern would give the best lighting coverage for all areas of the kitchen. After installation, we turned on the lights and wow, the entire kitchen area was very bright. All areas of the kitchen had perfect lighting coverage. We set the LED temperature to 4000 because we wanted it to have natural lighting. Everything was perfect.

Lights are easy to install. Can less feature is great. Was able to install them right under joist in several spots.

Easy install, different light settings are nice. Good for new or remodeling.

Easily selectable light temp switch on the transformer box and uses the high quality Halo quick connectors and knockouts if you are familiar with their products. Ordered cheap no name knockoffs along along with these and there was a fair amount of difference in quality. Cheap lights boxes bend when removing metallic knockouts, all plastic back on light instead of metal. The Halos are much pricier but as they say you get what you pay for.

One of 8 lights installed this one did not work

Love the this recessed LED lights. Easy and safe to install. The switch allows different light setting which is great. Im just hoping the quality will last at least 20 years as the box stated.

Bummer

I had commercial electric lights before, and while they were lower quality they did have some minor things I really liked.

Conceptually these are great light units. A retrofit fixture with such a low profile, color selectable, cost effective (consider the cost of a traditional can and trim), energy efficient, dimmable and IC rated. Sure ticks a lot of boxes.

Ordered a brand new set of lights and before I even opened the package I could tell this was from a return. The box is covered in tape and has clearly been returned.
