Westinghouse 0101100 Recessed Light Converter - 2 Pack

Having recessed lights, this was purchased to install a light fixture that was lower to the ground than the recessed light. The first was easy to install after watching a great YouTube video describing the whole process. The canister was flush with the ceiling making the video an exact match with light #1. The second light was a big challenge given the light's location along with drywall that the canister was on top of. In order to install the converted, I had to dig out the drywall with a utility knife. After that, everything worked fine albeit a bit of tweaking. Glad the 1st one helped me understand the process. The converter is well made a very sturdy, thus I feel comfortable that it can hold a light fixture with a bit of weight. Overall, I'd purchase this again. On last thing, the description doesn't properly tell you that the converted expands more that written up. My installation was 6.5 inches wide and there was additional room had the need been there.

We tried two other methods to convert a can light into a flush mount and this is the ticket. We tried another one that claims work for multiple sizes but it didn't work for any size. We also looked at creating our own conversion but this does everything we needed and it does it very well. We not have Jelly Fish pendant lights over the tub and a nice Tiffany light in the entry way where there were just cans before. Really happy with the design and install. Super easy. It only took about 15-20 minutes on the first and 5-10 on the second conversion.

The best product I've found for converting recessed light to pendant. Very easy to use and high quality

This kit is all you need to convert a ceiling spotlight into a drop pendant. If you’re handy and have a lot of patience it will ultimately work and save you a lot of expense with a much larger project. That being said, this is not necessarily easy to install - and trust me I know what I’m doing. The failure is that the adapter mount doesn’t leave enough width to accommodate fixture mounting screws in most cases. You will be fighting for tolerances, you will be grabbing the pliers, you will be hoping the tightening threads are close enough not to remove and restart, and you will be asking your spouse and kids to leave the room while your language becomes too “colorful”. In the end, with a lot of work, these kits did what they were intended to do. They are stable and can handle the weight of a standard ceiling install (within reason). They can be completely reversed. The ceiling pendant to cover the larger drywall hole for smaller bases is a welcome touch.

These worked as described. The electrician had no problem converting pot lights to pendant lights

So easy to install! We converted our lights and it was super great, fit amazing , easy to use and looks amazing

One of the most successful purchases I've made in 2020. This converter et worked perfectly and now I have two light fixtures (9,000 lumens) for my 300 sqft living room, an absolute upgrade from 2 recessed lights (1700 lumens). The installation was very easy. Depending on the framing of your ceiling, you might not be able to anker the converter bracket into any wooden structure. However, as long as they are secured into the metal housing of the recessed light, I found it is secure enough for a moderate light fixture. The converter is very well made. I'd recommend it to everyone who want to convert their recessed light to something better and brighter.

The first one took me a while to install because I didn’t realize I needed to make sure there was no texture hanging down on the edge of the can opening. So after I took it all back apart and then reinstalled 😂. The bezel sits right against the ceiling so there’s no shadow on the edge and this should easily support a 35 pound crystal chandelier.

Excelente opción para colocar lámparas de sobreponer en un bote integral. Fue la única solución que encontré en México.

As noted by other reviewers, these are a headache to install. Needing to drill a pilot hole into sheet metal at an angle is never fun (probably easier if you happen to have a right angle drill adapter). But they are totally worth it. There is actually one neat undocumented feature, which is that you can set your fixtures slightly off-center from the original can. Just an inch or so, in the case of 5" cans like I have, but it helps to balance the separation between the new lights you install. Basically you install the bracket as normal, but then you can tighten down the inner sliding thing at an offset. (I haven't put the white plastic medallions on -- planning to paint them black -- but the look is pretty damn good already.)

Worked great saved alot of time and work.
