8 in. Selectable CCT New Construction Canless Recessed Integrated LED Kit

Easy installation, but the trim ring around the fixture should be just a bit larger. Love the ability to adjust the color temperature of the light as well during installation. My existing dimmer works perfectly with this LED fixture. Some of my previous LED lights would not start up at a low setting or the dimming just operated very poorly. These start up at a low dim setting, and the range of control is very good. No noticeable noise at all. Installed over shower and works great!

HALO 8 IN. SELECTABLE CCT AND LUMENS NEW CONSTRUCTION CANLESS RECESSED INTEGRATED LED KIT. Easy install, hook up and snap in place. It has very bright light and the finish on the trim ring looks Greta when up agains my white ceiling. An average homeowner should be able to upgrade to these lights quickly and easily for a weekend project and update the old lighting.

The HALO 8 IN. SELECTABLE CCT has a J-box that powers the LED module lamp assembly. After connecting 120v power to the J-box using provided quick connecters, you can adjust the color appearance of your white LED lamp to a warm light around 2700K, to neutral white at around 3000K/3500K/4000K, or to cool white at 5000K using the side switch. A template is provided to cut the hole and snaps into the ceiling.

So there are things I really like about this light: it's dimmable, the warmth of the color is adjustable, and it's really easy to install with no j-box necessary (cut a hole, pop in the included driver, attach wires, lock in place). What I don't care for, however, is the appearance of the lens; the glass (or acrylic, I'm not completely sure) of the lens has a grid pattern to it which may not bother some but to my eye looks too industrial, as though it is better suited to a commercial setting vs. residential. Maybe the pattern just reminds me too much of the plastic covers on fluorescent light fixtures that were installed in basements & kitchens in the 70s & 80s and the overall cheap, cheesy feelings associated with it, but it's a strong enough association to make me opt against this fixture despite the recognized positives. I think that if / when used in a residential application this fixture would be good for a pantry or laundry area, or even in a finished garage, which is why I'd be willing to recommend it for those particular applications"; but there's no way I would install this in a living area because the lens alone makes the entire thing look a bit unrefined.

I used this product a little unconventionally. I needed 110 on my watercraft so I converted this to an engine bay light . I did this by installing an inverter in the boat and adding a plug cable to the light. The light is not yet fully installed as I have to make a mounting panel but it is an excellent light weight solution for a dark problem . About the light it comes with mounting instructions and wiring instructions. It also has info printed right on the can. It claims to be new construction, but I don't see how as you have to mount it into and not onto something, you can't nail it to a joist. The mounting springs have a tendency to damage the edge of the cut in hole so be careful of that. ( a cut out template is included). . reason I mention this is the color or hue switch is on the junction box and if you want to change the hue of the light you have to pull the light down. Not an easy task . Any way the light itself is well done and bright. Its also very low profile which allows for lighting in places before that were impossible . It's IC rated and stays cool . Being led it is energy bill kind for the consumer.

The Halo 8 in selectable CCT new construction canless recessed integrated led kit is a very bright light, and easy to install. The pictures show it installed in my pantry, however, the light was too bright and I opted to use a similar light with adjustable lumens as well. I moved this light to another room where I could use it in all of it's bright glory. The light itself is very easy to install once you cut out the 8" hole. The arms are spring loaded, but be careful because the spring can come back and bite you. I pushed one of the arms too far back when I was pulling it back out of the ceiling and it punctured my finger pretty good, this was my fault as it does warn you about that in the instructions. The security wire could stand to be a bit longer to prevent this from coming off of the assembly. The adjustable colors are great for preference, the selection knob is on the box housing.

Halo 8 in. Selectable CCT New Construction Canless Recessed Integrated LED Kit can be easily installed by cutting a right sized hole in the ceiling and using the spring-loaded holders (three of them) to clamp the light to the ceiling. No recessed can is needed for the installation. The light is very thin and has a flat surface so it will not protrude from the ceiling down. The finished project looks beautiful. The color temperature can be adjusted by a little slider on the included junction box. It can be dimmed by a phase shift dimmer switch (commonly used in residential houses). Be careful to choose the right dimmer switch for your application. If no dimmer is used, the light will produce light at the maximum brightness. Electrical quick connectors are used, so making a connection is as simple as pushing the wire in. No twister cap is needed. The installation can be done without getting into the attic. Overall, this is a very elegant product that will add value and comfort to the house.

Had a please to test a few LED kits with recessed lights. All branded by Halo. All lights are 8” in diameter. However, all of them have different functionality level and featured available. First similarities for all models – all dimmable, all have option to select color temperature (CCT), all canless installation. Now specifics: -LCR8809FSE010MW Commercial grade module with 8080 lumens (think of high beam light from a truck). The model provides extreme bright light. Your will have option to select the color temperature upon installation right on J-box. Light source in this model sits deep. This model has large heat sink on top and this model is bulky with depth of ~4.23” - HLB8169FS1EMWR Halo LCR8 Series 8 in. Soft White Selectable CCT Integrated LED Recessed Light with Round Surface Mount Trim Retrofit Module This model has fixed to 1761 lumens rating. Good enough for office or large room setting. It is superflat and required only ~2” of depths to fit in (without J-box). - HLB8LS9FSE010MWR Halo 8 in. Selectable CCT and Lumens New Construction Canless Recessed Integrated LED Kit This model is similar to previous one though you may squeeze out up to ~2400 lumens. For the light intensity there is an option to change lumens “1400-1900-2400”. All light are good and fit the purpose. I would say that in term of flexibility my choice would be HLB8LS9FSE010MWR as it gives most of flexibility with choosing color temperature and intensity. While LCR8809FSE010MW would be my second choice with dimmer in place. Recommend all. And hope my review will help you to make the right choice!

Our large master bedroom had two ceiling can lights which did a poor job of providing adequate light so I decided to install the Ultra-Thin Halo 8 inch LED 130 watt equivalent ceiling light to replace them. What a wonderful decision that was! It was not only super easy to install but was exactly what I needed to properly light the area. This fixture has a selection switch to pick a color range from several choices from bright white to warm. The bedroom is rustic with antique furnishings so we selected the warmest color to enhance the ambiance. With a dimming switch we can go from cozy and romantic to bright but warm light. Removing the old can light and enlarging the hole to 8 inches was a bit more work than installing the new one. This fixture has a separate driver box that you place in the attic first and then plug the black/white wires into the driver box. You don’t even need wire nuts. Next, connect the driver box to the light module using the provided connection wire. Fasten the driver box in the attic. Then, using three mouse trap type springs on the light module securely fasten the light to the drywall. Simply put the springs into the required 8 inch hole one at a time and they snap into place proving an air tight seal. Once the old can light was out, it only took about 15 minutes. No housing is needed. It is very Eco-friendly and according to the box should save $752 over the life of the fixture. I installed two so over $1500 in savings, wow! Most can lights are not as air tight as this so more savings there as well. Using lighting and other energy saving devices, I have cut my electric use in half. On top of everything it looks far more attractive than a can light. I recommend this fixture as a great buy.

Very easy to install the HALO ceiling light. No need to drill into a stud. Halo light is very light weight and is designed to hold tight inside drywall. You can change the Color temperature from a cool to a warm white. You can also easily wire another halo Lights together using the transformer that is supplied. Also easy to clean and looks great on your ceiling. Mounts very flush
