Great video showing what most YT videos on LED retro do not address - the fact that many old lighting cans do not have the retention clips in them. Glad to have found this...was getting to the point of having to pull the old cans which would totally suck.

Thanks man. I was switching mine out and getting angry lol. The instructions said to simply clip it in. Other videos said clip it in. I was stuffing the clips into holes and even trying to clip the loops onto the hooks. Your video gave me a clear visual as to how to use the hooks. I wasn't able to find that info anywhere else.

Thanks for making this video. The idea of LED recessed lights did not exist about 5 or 6 years ago. Scratching my head trying to figure out how to retrofit my 6 in cans with LED recessed. This video definitely put together the missing pieces, the clips and assemble the finished can light.

OMG. I have some flat LED lights that use e26 socket that only came with the wire spring tensioner. I always wondered why they don't come with the flat orange ones that have the bulb socket. This is a game-changer. Now I don't have to go into the attic and open up the junction box snd rewire

I’m currently trying to update my lights to LED. I took out the previous recessed lighting and measured the J cans, they’re 4 3/4inch. It’s an awkward size and I’m having trouble finding lights that would fit them. I purchased those adapters, but I’m still having trouble finding something that would fit. Any help would help

@Totallightingsupply 3 жыл бұрын

That size is very difficult to find an LED replacement. Have you tried contact Juno direct for an LED replacement?

Best place to start is to see if your recessed can is in our list here www.totalrecessedlighting.com/convert-your-recessed-downlight-to-led.html 🙂

All you had to do is put an air tight 6" baffle so the socket can clip into it, then you could have put any type of LED light bulbs in it. Not sure why everybody want so use the retrofit. If that goes out, then you have to replace the whole thing. Isn't it easier just to replace a individual LED bulb? Plus then you can have LIFX or Phillips Hue lights in there and change the color to whatever you want.

@Totallightingsupply 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, that is a great solution if you are keeping the original trim. Many of our customers reach out to us wanting to replace their old, yellowing existing trim with something a little more modern while also wanting to go LED. So we have a solution you see in our video for that situation 🙂

@no-regrets Жыл бұрын

Is it possible that you installed the clips upside down? When I am removing the light, my C-clips are bending. If they were installed so that the grippers were below the screw, I don't think I would experience that problem.

@Totallightingsupply Жыл бұрын

If you find it easier that installation and removal works better with the C-Clips reversed there should be an issue in doing that. Just make sure it has secure retention 🙂

Why wouldn't you just use LED bulbs?

@Totallightingsupply 2 жыл бұрын

Not every application is the same. For example, the trim is old and has yellowed, is damaged or disfigured and simply replacing with an LED bulb would not resolve the problem. Another would be the color or finish of the trim does not fit the space due to changes in the space. Hope that helps 🙂
