Thread: Residential LED lighting

MJC, Anything to report on the installation. I'm getting close to having to make a decision with my project and would sure like some feedback.

MJC -- I have to apologize, I asked my brother, the electrical contractor, and he had never seen or heard of them. He is waiting now to hear what you discover. Should have told you sooner!

So the good news, bad news.
These are fantastic, but they do not work as a retro-fit to and existing 1x1 flush mount can light.

If, when you take down the exiting fixture you have a flush mounted 4x4 gang box - you are good to go.
If you have a 1'x1' nominal opening in the sheet rock and a fixture mounted to the studs..you are going to have to put in an LED lamp and move on.
Or you can wreck out the fixture, frame the opening and set a 4x4 box and go from there.

I was away - but I have worked with this Electrician for years and the plan we had cooked up on the phone/email did not survive first contact with my slopping ceilings. There was no way to keep it square with the opening.

I have not sent them back, thinking about re-doing the lighting in my home office....

But if I was doing this in a new structure I would not hesitate.
I ordered them from Home Depot, they did not stock them at a store close by.
Very well made, commercial grade fixture - they were about $80 each.

Let me know if you have any other questions. Sorry this did not work in my location but it was not the fixture - it was the pre-existing conditions.
