2 in. White Gimble LED Integrated Trimless Recessed Lighting Kit

This is a nifty accent light that will go anywhere accent lighting is needed. It fits into a 2” dia. hole (in sheetrock or cabinet), and is only 2.5” in diameter overall, and just under 2” in height (not including the power supply/junction box). The gimble moves 20 deg in one direction, and just past neutral in the opposite direction (so be sure to test it before you install it so that you get the effect you want). It uses spring-clip mounts to make installation a snap – just compress the springs and push them into the hole, and they deploy to hold the light with no screws, clamps, etc. required. Once installed, the maximum protrusion from the trim ring is ¼” at 20 deg. The light is 3000K color temperature - just barely into the “cool” temperature, but not harsh at all. The light output is 370 Lumens. Since it’s all aimed in one direction, it shows as significantly brighter than my 60W Equivalent LED bulb on my workbench (see the picture – you can see the brighter area under the gimble light in the photo below).

This is my review of the Commercial Electric 2in Slim LED Gimble recessed light kit. This is a well designed and manufactured light kit. The wiring is set up to be easy to install. The light is detachable from the driver/junction box with a weather-tite plug. The wires inside the junction box have 3 hole push on connectors already installed for multiple light runs. The entire kit is very compact and will fit in almost any ceiling space. There is no housing required either! The kit includes easy to read instructions and a template to make installation easy. The gimble assembly is aluminum and has a built in heat sink. It has a nice "heft" to it. It does not feel cheap at all. The movement is very smooth and stays where you aim it. The LED is a soft white with a temp of 3000K. It can dimmed with the correct PWM dimmer switch. I found the color to be very comfortable and perfect for highlighting a piece of art or a dark hallway. Thanks for taking the time to read!

The single 2 inch LED light is large enough to light up a small hallway or closet without creating an glare or an unpleasant brightness. In general, this light can be installed with minimum electrical knowledge- I highly recommend this light be used as an accent and not the main light source. The light overall is an impressive easy clip and resistance mounted light- LED.

Fantastic gimble led light fixture. This light fixture is super compact (see third picture comparison). The light fixture will go great in a small compact area like a laundry sink or closet. You will need to run electrical line to junction box. Super excited for this install. The manufacturer provides a cutting template for you to make sure the hole is just right.

These lights are so easy to install and use, it is more difficult to pull the wire to feed them than to install. With the included template, anyone can cut a hole that will be the perfect fit to put this light in place. Being a gimble mounted light, it is easy to aim the light where ever you need it to shine. Positive connection is quick with the included push wire connectors, much easier and faster than wire nuts.

This is a quality light fixture. I like that the light can be shifted on a gimble so you can have a little more control over the direction of the light by creating a slight angle after you install it. This 2" light requires exactly a 2" cutout, but since my existing cut-out was just over 2", the light flipped right through the hole and could not be mounted flush with the existing cut-out. That's ok, I can just get the correct size that I need, now that I know not all 2" fixtures are exactly the same. There was another 2" variety without the gimble that required a slightly larger cutout, so it's just good to know the actual size of the product and the required cutout size before you do your installation. This one is exactly 2", so it will work on any 2" cutout. The springs are extremely strong so the fixture will mount flush to the flat surface after feeding the wiring through the cutout. The fixture can be disconnected from the junction box in case the JB needs to be installed separately and cannot fit up through the cutout. This also makes changing the fixtures much easier in case a different kind of light is desired in the future. The LED is expected to last a very long time, but it's good to know that the fixture could be replaced if needed since it can be disconnected from the JB. The junction box has quick-connect terminals, so either tin wiring that is stranded or use solid wiring. Most wiring should already be solid, but just be aware if doing something custom. Once you insert the wires into the quick connect harnesses, they cannot be removed, so just be aware and make sure the wiring is good before inserting it. Overall, it's an excellent fixture, I just couldn't use it in my existing cabinet because the pre-cut holes were just slightly too large.

I am planning on putting this in the ceiling of a new shower I am building for a bathroom remodel. It should give some nice directed light in a shower stall. The wiring is very simple with the included "push to connect" system. You still need access to a regular house power wire and a on/off switch. You can place this light almost anywhere you can cut a two inch hole and get power to it. It takes up very little space.

I have become a true fan of these type of lighting solutions. You can find similar lights in 4 and 6 inches. This light however being only 2 inches provides targeted lighting in a somewhat stealth deployment. If an electrical connection is in place, you just need to drill a 2 inch hole using the template that is included. Then push the 3 wires (black, white and green) into the corresponding connectors, similar to new wall plugs and light switches. Then place the black metal box/can/coffin in the hole and lay it in the ceiling. Does not get much easier than that. If you're not comfortable with a DIY solution, please make sure to use a licensed electrician especially if you need to run a new electrical line.

These lights were great for the price installed easy as long as you have a sharp 2-in hole saw and wires to the location.
