TORCHSTAR Basic Series 12-Pack 6 Inch Ultra-Thin LED Recessed Lighting with Junction Box, CRI90, Aluminum, 5000K Daylight, 5%-100% Dimmable Slim Recessed Downlight, 12W 1100LM, ETL and Energy Star

I am building a new home and have been trying several different lights to see which I like best. I am a contractor and have installed almost every style of light in the past 50 years. These are so simple to install that anyone should be able to do. Quality seems as good as any I have seen and better than most. Very clean looking and was packaged so well unlike other that seemed to think packaging doesn't matter. No matter how rough delivery is they should arrive in perfect condition. As far as the light; I purchased the 5000K and it has to be very close to that color. If your looking for good light coverage the beam angle is wider than almost every other brand. The coverage is so good I will be replacing all the lights in my woodworking shop and stain glass area with these. I already installed 2 in my daughters house in her stairs, 1 on the down angle and 1 on the bottom landing. These replaced higher wattage lights and are at least twice as bright with much better coverage. On a second note this house will be voice controlled and I will be using Lutron Caseta switches and set up a test with these. I had no problem with these working with the switches fully dimming just as the manufacture said. The only thing I noticed was a slight delay on starting and I'm not sure if it is the light or a lag in the switch itself. If I had to guess I think it is in the switch and not the light. Overall I think these will become a light I use on more jobs and already plan to purchase the Torchstar gimbal lights they make and do a review of these also. Lorenzo

I initially purchased this brand/style of light during the pandemic when were redoing our basement. I didn't want to wait in line to get into the local hardware store and this seemed like a great alternative. When my husband was installing the lights, we said how they would be great in other parts of the house. As we started to come out of quarantine we just never got around to doing it. On Prime Day, the 12 pack went on deal, and we took advantage! They were easy to install, look great, and produce a beautiful clean white light in my kitchen and family room. We have an open soffit above part of our family room that was previously drafty in the winter time- not anymore! These tightly seal around the drywall and have reduced the airflow on a few of these cool fall days. I image we will notice an even bigger difference as it gets colder in the winter. From an installation perspective, the hole was already in the ceiling so I can't help out with the best hole saw size to use. The boxes are on the small size for lights in a series, but the last one doesn't have an issue with space. These come with wire nuts, but they aren't great we opted to use a better quality that we had in stock. These are missing knockout clamps, so be sure to add them to your cart too! We have recommended our family to purchase these for their homes as well when they have stopped by and commented on the "new" lights.

I installed 6 in our exercise room and 4 in a small office, replacing old troffers in a drop ceiling (with LED tubes). The installation is very simple and light output a massive improvement over the old lights (both in coverage and color). I HATE fluorescent lighting and the LED tubes were only marginally better. These LED disks are a big improvement over both of those and look a lot more modern. Packaging was great, quality appears to be very good, really nothing to complain about other than the connector wires from the junction box to the fixture are pretty short. If you're installing in a drywall ceiling it won't matter but, for my purposes, installing in a drop ceiling where the joists are a good foot above the ceiling grid...it was manageable but not the tidiest looking installation (though it's above the ceiling and no one will ever notice). The fixtures themselves look great. We went with daylight and that was the right choice for the exercise room but might be a little cold in the office. Easy enough to swap in a different one later if we decide to do so. I hope these last...will come back and update if they don't.

I love the lights! I installed 8 (overkill) of them in my kitchen and controled them with dimmer switches. Its like a stadium in there. No shadows. My neighbor probably hate them. They are so easy to install and when you have a water leak from the floor above (like I did) you can just grab them and pop them out so you can dry the water sitting in between floors. Once its was dry I just popped them back in, no tools needed. I had a few lights that are right were a joist is at and I had no issue installing them there. I loved them so much that I bought enough to replace all the lights in my house with them. They are so thin and so bright just like I wanted. We have our lights on alot and our kids are constantly playing with the switches turning them on and off and out of the 16 lights (again, over kill) on my first floor, not one has failed in any way. The kitchen lights are 2 years old and the rest are 1 year old to the month. Great lights at an awesome price!

Purchased two packs of lights at different times. They are getting installed and work great. The room is way brighter thanks to these LED lights. After purchases I got call from Torchstar saying one of my orders had been cancelled and money refunded. Then, eventually got both parcels in the mail. Almost bought more lights because of confusion. This was only problem. Would buy from this company again though.
