New 4” and 5-6” Recessed Light Retrofits: Replace your can lights with something Better

These new LED retrofit lights to have everything a can light should have. They run on 120VAC. They are UL damp rated, Energy Star qualified, dimmable with standard household dimmers, and fit easily into existing cans with no tools. Solidly constructed, with a 3-year warranty and LED life expectancy of 40,000 hours, these LED ceiling light fixtures are built to last. The 4-inch retrofit has an additional plus. It’s 40-degree wide spot has an adjustable arm, tilting 30 degrees vertically, and pivoting a full 355 degrees. This makes them the perfect led downlights to use over artwork, displays, or counters, anywhere that needs a precise pool of light. The warm white, 3000K, light puts out 650 lumens, equivalent to a 50W incandescent but drawing only 9W. The solidly constructed body pivots and swivels smoothly are easily aimed and stay on target. The metal housing has ample cooling fins (see the earlier blog: “Keeping LED Lights Happy”, on cooling) to shed the heat from the driver and ensure getting the most out of the 40,000-hour average life (at 8 hours a day, that’s almost 14 years). The 5-6” retrofits produce 1200 lumens, the equivalent of a 90W incandescent, yet draw only 19W. Unlike the adjustable 4” light, these downlights have a wide, fixed, 90-degree beam. In other areas, they are similar. The bodies of the lights are solidly constructed and UL damp rated. The LEDs have a 40,000-hour average life, and consistent colour. They are an excellent, affordable, energy saving and very long-lived alternative to incandescent and fluorescent ceiling lights. If you are looking for a replacement for energy-hogging incandescent ceiling lights, or slow to start, non-dimmable and iffy coloured fluorescents, these LED retrofits are a great choice. Affordable and easy to install, these lights will provide bright, beautiful light for many years.
