I know the description says this is for retrofitting but can I simply install these in my ceiling where there previously was no recessed lighting?

I had to return them cause they don't fit inside the cans, you need cans if you have any type of insulation. If you are retrofitting and are not using a can the answer is yes.

Yes, I put these in me kitchen. Just cut a 4 1/4" hole and the spring holds them well. Used an electrical box for the hard wiring attached to the rafter with the transformer outside the box.

Oh, no worries--hooks up just like a regular light does--one hole with the wires coming thru and easy peasy to do if you already have an existing fixture--just label the wires with masking tape where they were and were they go, if they are not modern color coded. It really is beautiful--just takes time to put the crystals onto the drop downs--not complicated, just time consuming, but sooooo worth it in the end :0)

Yes that is what I got them for. But this is only the cover. You also need the recessed light that they work with.

No. You can put your stock lights in the pre drilled holes for lights though. Or just buy some LED replacements.

Yes as long as they fit your lamps. I use them in my kitchen ceiling, recessed, work well.

I'm not sure. We had recessed lights installed and wanted a fan without lights.

Sometimes the bulb you want to use doesn't properly throw it's light because it is in a recessed fixture. By using an extender like this, you can bring the bulb out a bit more, allowing it to provide more ambient light. Or at least, that's how I use these...

Yes. The cord is extremely long & we only needed a few feet. My husband cut the cord & hard wired them into what used to be the recessed can lighting. Just a simple splice, electricians tape & cap. I love mine. :)

yes, they are fairly small and fit in (if you mean something like this http://www.amazon.com/Yosemite-Home-Decor-JK101-11SN-2-Light/dp/B003ARSZWU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1396141276&sr;=8-1&keyword;s=ceiling+fixture), however enclosed fixture might diminish the output.

I'm sorry, but I hired an electrician to install these for me so i don't have a clew. I am pleased with the performance of these fixtures.

They would be for indoor use only and are not air tight. They have springs in the back that hold them to the ceiling so they aren't really a recessed lighting unless the hole you are putting them in is already recessed. Hope this helps.

LEDs generate very little heat compared to cfl or incandescent bulbs. If your can had either of these type of bulbs you should be okay. Insulated ceiling type cans are fairly standard in newer construction. Hope this helps

Yes, they can, and what's nice is the top inch will hang out and light up the whole room. (Unless you use your recessed as spot lights then they will not work that way.)

It's just a retrofit, so no trim is needed. It looks really nice just flush to the wall and saved me from having to buy trim. If you already have trim you like, you may want to just buy a led bulb and a lense. It's super easy to install as long as you have the needed clips inside your recessed harness, you'll be able to pull out the current trim, attach these and slide it right flush. Best of luck.

Yes..depending on ur in wall wiring..I have svrl of this type of light, but always on the ceiling,such as garage, outside patio,etc..These lights will illunimate a large area,if installed on the celing, rafters etc..U may lose some illumination if installed horizontal on the wall..vertical may be ok.. I'm not a pro... just my opinion

Most recessed lights are not rated for use with insulation, I use TENMAT FF130E Regular Covers. Nothing special to do just cover the light and no more insulation gaps in your attic. You can find these on Amazon, or from Tenmatusa.com
