5.0 out of 5 stars Best Micro Disk Lights on the Market
I just finished installing a pack of 4, 6" lights in my home study and so far I'm very happy with lights. I spent several months researching micro disk recessed lights I feel these are the best ones on the market and have several advantages over most other micro disk recessed lights from other manufacturers.PROS:Light Output: These lights output 1200 lumens which is 200 to 400 more than what most other micro disk manufacturers offer. This means that you don't have to install as many lights to achieve a high output where as with other micro disk lights on the market you would have to install 6 to 8 lights to equal the same light output that 4 of these lights provide.Color Selection Option: These lights offer the best light temperature/color options over most of the their competitors. Specifically, you can set these lights to output at color temperatures of 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K or 5000K. Many of the micro disk lights only offer 3 color temperature options and/or exclude the 2700K and 3500K options. 2700K is the same color temperature as incandescent lights, which allows you to match these with older lights very easily and 3500K is a true/pure white color and the highest tone of white the does not introduce blue tones, which can harm your circadian rhythm.Additional Size Options: In addition to the 6" size option, Sylvania makes this fixture in 3", 4" and 8" options, which makes it easy to install different sizes throughout your home and have them all match.Matching Retrofit Light: Sylvania also makes a retrofit light (Sylvania 65524) that matches this micro disk light. This is important because if you have existing can lights in your home, you can create a consistent look between the retrofitted cans and the new micro disk lights you add to your home.Hole Size Works with a 6" Hole Saw: The cut-out that's needed for installing these lights is exactly 6", which means you can use a 6" hole saw bit to easily make the cut outs in your ceiling. Many other manufactures require odd sized cuts that can be < or > 6" making it difficult to use standard sized bits to make your cut-out.CONS (Not many, but here are a couple):Knock-out Grommets Not Included: Sylvania does not provide the grommets to place within the knockouts to protect the electrical wires, so you'll need to pick-up a pack at your hardware store. I'd be willing to pay a few extra dollars for this product for the convenience.Placement of Color Temperature Switch Could be More Convenient: Sylvania placed the color temperature switch directly on the junction box. This isn't a big deal breaker, but if you want to test different color temperature options after installation, you have to pull the junction box out of the ceiling to get to the selection switch. A few manufactures are now placing the switch on the cord that runs between the junction box and the light, plus a very select few have built in features where you can adjust this setting using a dimmer switch.Overall, I'm very satisfied with the quality of these lights and plan on adding more in other rooms at a future time. I'll be sure to keep this review updated if my experience changes.
5.0 out of 5 stars Working great
I love the lights. The clean shallow design looks great. I have had no problems with the install. Very easy.
1.0 out of 5 stars 20% failure rate because of Spring-loaded plastic tab failures-Sylvania, this is not acceptable!
UPDATE: I just found my 11th light out of 60+ I installed hanging out of the ceiling and lowered my rating to 1-star as a result. How disappointing Sylvania would think this is acceptable. Creeping up on 20% failure rate. Plan to replace with Halos with the metal tabs as the Sylvanias fail.I put up 60+ of these in my home. Of those 60, I have 6 that have failed on the spring-loaded plastic tabs. That’s a 1 in 10 failure rate. A few failed on installation but what worries me more is that after just a few months, I’ve had a few fail in the ceiling. By comparison, the Halo lights have a very solid metal tab. Also, I find the little junction box a little flimsy. White trying to stow the box in the ceiling, I’ve had to reinstall the covers multiple times because they just pop off. Also by comparison, the Halo lights have a nice, solid and hinged junction box that is much more secure and convenient. I do really like the convenience of 5 selectable light temperature settings. Also, a 6” hole saw works perfectly for these lights.
5.0 out of 5 stars Buy the name brand, it's worth it!
These lights work great! Easy to install, and decent room in the box to make connections. The light "color" adjustment works great to fine tune the light to the application.I've purchase probably 3 dozen lights of different sizes/types lights on Bolo. The lesson learned is if you can find the light you want in a "Name Brand", it's worth the extra cost. Quality is apparent. Some of the off brands wouldn't pass building codes in most areas of the country. This brand is about as good as it gets.
4.0 out of 5 stars Bright, easy to install, not easy to dim
While the install is straightforward, dimming was difficult. The manufacturer stated the Lutron DVCL 153 was a compatible dimmer. However the lights flickered when first turned one. After some research it appears the lights require a more expensive dimmer which set me back about 80 bucks (DVELV 300). Even with the expensive dimmer, it’s maybe about 90% of what I wanted. I wish I could go back and spend a few more bucks per light and get a Halo light that is compatible with more dimmers. I put Halo lights in other rooms and they work better.
5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to Install!
Replaced old canister lights in the kitchen above the stove/oven. Removing the old canisters took more time than installing these. They were super easy to install. I really like that I can remove the lights from within the room (not the attic), detach the wiring/cabling, repair the ceiling, and re-install easily. I also like that I could chose between soft and daylight white.
3.0 out of 5 stars Lights are great, junction box not so much
Easy to install, great lighting for our walk in closet. But the junction box lid has the worst design and falls off if someone breathes on it.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great little lights
These are great looking little pot lights. I paired them with an Bolo smart switch dimmer and use them as accent lights that come on automatically a few hours after sunset. The color option is a nice feature, although I only use them on the warm setting. No buzzing or flickering even when dimming.
Good product
There was damage during shipping and they replaced it with out question.
fantastic light for my customer glass doors cabinets
Easy to connect and install, nice selection on temperature of light
Works good and easy to install
Dimmable is nice. Colour temperature selection is also a bonus
They produced much more light and look better than my existing recessed pot lights.
I had no disliked with them. I used them to replace older recessed pot lights that used bulbs.
Value
Bought 3 of these lights. The day settings (5000k) worked good on two but the third light, the switch did not function properly. I returned it with no problems on an exchange as all 3 lights are in the same bathroom, so the 5000k settings should all be the same. Easy Bolo return policy was great and hopefully it was just this one light. The other two worked great at the 5000k settings and these lights are easy to install. I would give them a 5 star if they all worked at 5000k.
