Great lights!
Once I figured out how to get it to attach to my existing cans the process was simple. Great lighting and dimmable.

Nice touch
The lights are great . Only thing if the bulb goes out the entire unit will need to be replaced

    OK product
    The light output is good and the color temperature is good too. However, the recessed housing moves up as you push this light into it. The light does not snug up to the ceiling completely and leaves a gap.

    Excellent replacement
    Replaced 65 watt spots. Easy to install using the screw socket option. Just as bright as the old bulbs

      not happy
      lights flicker!! tried to get answers from hd and Phillips got the run around. hd told me its the dimmer switch . they said to call Phillips which I did 20minutes on the phone and they kept transferring me until I got back to where I started so I hung up!! I will have to return the lights. if I know which switch to buy I would keep them . good value and brightness but the flickering drives me crazy!!

        Excellent product
        Item was shipped quickly. Very easy to install, basically changing a light bulb. Instant full illumination, no warm up period as with fluorescent bulbs. Only time will tell if they last as long as advertised.

          Best replacements I have found.
          Easy to replace. I will eventually replace all pot lights with these. Light output is better than before. Very good buy.

          Cost savings purchase
          Easy to install and I am looking forward to the cost savings. Also seals canister better and does not give off the heat the incandescent light did so it should be safer.

          Great Replacement for incandecent floodlights in can light mounts
          The instructions in the box were pictures and not helpful at all. At first I was reluctant to attempt the installation because of the lack of instructions but started anyway. After figuring out the spring arrangement that keeps the light in the can the installation was easy. I installed all 4 in about 30 minutes. 15 minutes of the install were trying to decipher the cryptic instructions. The light work fantastic and put out twice the light of the floodlight that were in the cans. I hope they last as stated on the box.

          Recessed LED lighting retrofit
          The main reason for my purchase was to eliminate drafts (air leakage) from my old lighting fixture. The LED light certainly reduced my energy usage vis-a-vis the flourecent lamps; a plus. It was easy to install but failed to fit tightly against old fixture allowing air flow (draft) to continue. After a few weeks, I noticed on a few fixtures the gap grew a bit. For my intended purpose the retrofit failed. For hard to reach lights, it will likely eliminate the need to replace lamps on regular basis and will certainly reduce energy consumption.

          Super easy to install
          The light that these put out is a much cleaner, whiter light than the 65W indoor floods that I was using. My finished basement has 11 lights and it made a big difference. I first replaced one light then turned them all on, what a change, never realized how yellow the old lights were.

          horrible retrofit light
          The recessed fixture was made horribly designed and won't fit in a 6' cut. Had to cut more off of the dry ceiling and still was not flush on the ceiling.

          Easy Install
          These led can light replacements came as advertised. They provide great light and they were easy to install, plus I will save money on operating costs over time. Cant beat that!

          Great LED conversion bulbs
          first of all the assembly is very well made. The pricing is certainly very attractive, before you factor the long term savings that LED provides. My only disappointment is the catch to place the assembly is not well made. Many recessed lighting fixtures use either a spring catch or springs to hold this assembly in place. After some manipulation there was some difficulty forcing the retrofit into the overhead. The recessed assembly was not anchored and kept moving while trying to jam it in.

          Simple to install, VERY bright lights
          I bought this on a daily deal and they were well worth it. Simple to install, no heat generated from the lights, very, very bright. They seem brighter to me than the old bulbs even though they are the same wattage. I highly recommend them...in long run I will save money and these lights are great.

          Worth it!
          This is the third set of LED replacement can lights I've purchased. All have been Phillips but each set has been a different model. This particular model has been the easiest to install and that they are dimmable is a bonus.

            So far so good!
            I purchased 8 lights. (Got them on Sale) Very easy to install. I had to change existing dimmer switches to accommodate the lights and they work great! Solid front design eliminates the old canned flood light look. The wife really likes them! Nice and Bright..

            Great deal, if you get them on sale.
            I got this 4-pack for about $60 on one of the Home Depot deal of the days. At that price, these are awesome. It was pretty easy to install them and I like the light that it puts off. It is nice to have instant on lights again after all the CFL flood light bulbs I was using and their slow warm up times. I wish I would have bought two sets but I will keep an eye out for them to go on sale again.

            Wonderful, easy retrofit
            My husband and I recently bought a house with traditional can lights in the kitchen ceiling. We're slowly moving all our lights to LED, for the energy saving as well as for better light (to our eyes at least.) We bought a pack of 4 and replaced the old can lights. The retrofit was easy and looks clean. Our kitchen is small, more galley type, so we had to put a dimmer switch on so it's not always so bright. Highly recommend these.

            I love these lights.
            The lights were very easy to install. They are brighter than I thought they would be for being soft white LED's, because I usually buy daylight light bulbs.
