I have existing 5 1/8" round holes in my ceiling from existing recessed lights; I wish to change to LED lighting. Will this fit or do I have to cut more and get old 1952 gray/white plaster in my eyes? Thanks anyone who used these !

If the actual hole is 5 1/8" you will be close. You still may encounter some plaster dust since the spring loaded keepers need a little extra clearance.

They fit standard lamp sockets. However, the light quality may not be what you are used to. You may want a higher wattage. I have two of the in my bedroom ceiling fan and they aren't bright enough for me. Pay attention to the wattage max on your fixture. The bulb size is the same as a regular bulb.

yes, you can install these after the ceiling goes up, but they are not bright enough to install in your kitchen. i installed 6 of them in my bedroom and they were to dim. if i were to put them in my kitchen i would want about 18 of them. it would be better to put in 4 or 5, 5 or 6 inch recessed lights to get a better spread of illumination

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&keywords=ceiling+fixture), however enclosed fixture might diminish the output.

The purpose is both the look and how the light is projected. I have used standard bulb replacement LEDs in recessed lighting and have not been completely pleased with the light production. I installed four of these in a high ceiling (10 ft.) room and was exceptionally pleased with the lighting effect. I later installed a digital fade dimmer to lower the light to a more acceptable level in the evening and early morning. It does look much cleaner without the exposed bulb, and moths or other heat/light drawn insects don't have a good place to accumulate around the housing. Remember that you are also buying a sealed, wet location trim, and that should also be counted into the cost. The purpose is both the look and how the light is projected.

My best advice would be to go to Lowes or Home Depot and check if the size/plug are the same.Do keep in mind though that, if you have dimmers, they have to be LED compatible dimmers otherwise you may be able to mount 1 or 2 before they start 'flickering' and you're living in a constant 'disco'....

1. Better closure between living area and the area above the ceiling2. Ready for damp locations3. If you are putting in new lights and didn't buy your trim kits, this will get you the trim kit and LED light in one package (reason I'm getting them)4. Much cleaner look than a trim kit and bulb separately 5. These are probably brighter than your incandescent bulbs (although, I suppose that's not an advantage over using an LED bulb)

These bulbs maybe used in table and floor lamps, open pendant fixtures and ceiling fixtures including surface mounts but not usually in a recessed fixture. If a standard size incandescent A-shape lamps fit this should as well. Hope this was of some help.

Yes, they fit in mine, though they are longer so clearance could be an issue in smaller fixtures. That said, I got them into my little half sphere step lights. The color is hard to judge because they're so dim. My lights had 4 watt incandescent lamps, and these may be half as bright, so much too dim for my use as a fence accent.

Hi Charlie - I am of the opinion that Coopers Lighting has continued to cost reduce the manufacturing of the light without changing the model number. Look at the picture @ 'the big orange box store" website to see what I mean - http://www.homedepot.com/buy/halo-5-and-6-in-recessed-matte-white-led-retrofit-baffle-and-trim-ring-rl560wh-r.html#.UQxHGWeGdKM For example, the support springs for the old empty can and trim ring were heavier/stronger than for this replacement unit which weighs more. Cheers..........

Yes it does fit with no issues. I am using a fixture I purchased at Lowes, so that is pretty much standard US socket. I used CFL in it before and now these. They work very well. I do not feel they are loose at all. I like them a lot. The white is very bright (cool white at about 5600K)

I got mine in antique brass... And love it No the lights aren't"adjustable" and it's all or none. I recommend getting 40 w equivalent led bulbs instead....puts out 120 watt equivalent for roughly 12watts. Bulbs should last a good long time Plenty of light without being too much

Hi Karl Yes, my light also has the same configuration. Not sure what the additional hole is for but there is a corresponidng hole in my light socket. I think some light poles and sockets have 3 pins, presumably for additional power or lighting options. Alternatively it just may be to allow water to drain out so that water doesn't build up and short out the wiring. Regards Rob

I see a lot of "I don't think so's". Has anybody actually tried these in a light fixture. Some say it needs direct like but others say they have the sensor pointed backward toward house and ambient light works fine. I would like to know if somebody actually tried these in a recessed can light. And I removed my diffuser glass covers because it caused too much heat and bulbs were blowing. The sensor would still be recessed into the can but only a few inches from the edge and not blocked by large trim ring and glass diffuser.

Mr. Monroe.....there are many styles of trims that fit an Halo H7T 6" recessed light housing. Enter &gt; Halo 6" trim and decide which color-reflector-lamp style you prefer, most describe on the right side which housing they fit. Good luck

These are not the only lights that go inside 1" holes. Worst case, the holes would have to be filled with some cement, which is easy to do. (Color matching in that case may be more of a challenge.)

Our cord was long enough to hang the lights from a 14 ft ceiling, about 7 ft off the floor.(I believe the description says it's a 50" inch cord) I don't know if you could replace the cord. The wires were covered in a cord that matched the fixture (oiled bronze). We had the electrician that wired the addition install all the fixtures and I don't think he had any issues with these. I posted a picture of one of the lights. I saw where they are $7.99 now so you wouldn't be out much if you wanted to try a longer cord. (Ours were twice that)
