Utilitech Adjustable Dimmable LED Recessed Downlight and Lutron Diva Dimmer Switch

Quick Home Improvement

I am making updates to my home. I purchased the 6 pack of these retrofit recessed lights to change my outdated drafty can lights. They came with the brackets and springs and a pack of screws with a few extra screws. You can use either the brackets or the springs to make the lights fit into the recessed can. My teenager installed them. They were easy to install. It took us about 20 minutes to screw the brackets onto all of them. Then only a few minutes to install them. I like that the depth...

Design problem -- the mounts occasionally melt

I have a 2000 sq ft project that I've installed 26 of these lights into new construction cans rated for 16W LEDs. After a few months, they started just randomly falling out of the ceiling. I have had these installed for about 2 years now, but only 10 months since they've had drywall around them. THAT's when they started failing. In the last 10 months, I've had 9 fail due to the mounting clips melting where a screw holds them to the plastic driver housing. When it first happened, I found two ...

I purchased 6 of these when remodeling our kitchen just 4-5 years ago. One just outright died within a couple of years and another just had the plastic base crack on its own while in my ceiling (I noticed when I heard the metallic sound of the clip hitting the ground and saw my light hanging from the ceiling). Yes, I emailed [email protected] already. No, they did not respond.

Be Careful When Ordering Online

I received a used item instead of new!

Fits can lights with integral reflectors

Very bright, good fit, has spring clips that fit our ceiling can light fixtures with integral reflectors. I was concerned that this product would not fit because many of these retrofit fixtures assume you can remove the original reflector and have just a perfectly cylindrical can with slots for long thin springs. This model comes with both types of clips, so it should fit either type.

Good product. Sturdy. Well made.

I like the light. I ordered the product online. The box one of the lights came in was all torn up and appeared to have been gone through prior to it being shipped to me. Which was less than ideal. The parts were all moved around. Thankfully they were all there. But it was disappointing that that is the one that was chosen to be shipped to me. Seems as though it should have been discounted if that were the case. But I guess that is what happens when you order things online from here.

Just what I was looking for, but.....

Installation was easy, setting the color temperature was easy, it fit and mounted into the ceiling cans properly, and it functioned properly. This product was headed for a 5 star review EXCEPT for one small but important issue: the very poor quality of the self-tapping screws for mounting one of the internal parts. While assembling the 8 units I bought, the heads of the screws in two of the units broke off while screwing them into PLASTIC! Obviously the screws were made of very cheap and soft me...

Perfect replacements

Perfect match replacement for the original lights of a kitchen remodel five years ago. Adjustable color, easy to install if this is the specific kind of lighting you have. Dimmable. Good deal if you can get the 6-pack vs. one at a time.

Doesn't fit my fixture well.

This was a replacement for an older light that had died. It fit in the originally installed ceiling can, but the side spring bars (or whatever they are called), have a circular bend in them that prevented them from fitting into the little prongs where those bars are supposed to go. So, I could not install it as I had hoped. I was able to avoid the prongs, and the friction between the springs and the can seems to enough to hold the light in place. It does not seem very secure, but it works. ...

Bright — poor hardware

These were fit well and were much brighter than the 75 watt bulbs in the existing can lights. But the one-piece screw/washers that attach the mounting hardware are bad. The metal is soft and the phillips heads strip. I replaced them with M4 3/8” screws and #8 washers which worked much better. The v-shaped torsion springs that hold the fixture into the old cans were also poorly made — thin metal that wanted to deform and spin out of the holders. But those are custom designed and can’t be easily...
