LUXRITE 3” LED Recessed Light Kit – 8W, 5CCT 2700K–5000K, 540LM, Dimmable, Ultra-Thin Canless, ETL & Energy Star, IC Rated

This is awesome. I weird it through a switch and it's great. I installed it into curio cabinets. Very bright!

The lights are a little brighter than I anticipated. Switching color temp is a nice feature. The clips that hold them in the hole are a bit "clumsy" but will work.

We went through 44 of these with our current renovation. A joy to install. They are on day 4 of burning 24/7. No light or j-box failures yet. Irrespective of where they're made, in a different dimension than the junk from Chinese "brands" where repeated failures create more time, money and aggravation.

If your choosing between these types of lights and are wondering about the Luxrite 3”, I would pay close attention the 80 CRI rating. If you’re not familiar what this is, it’s basically a rating of how the natural colors look under artificial light. They higher the CRI number, the more accurate a color will be.These fixtures have a CRI rating of 80. If you are utilizing them in a hallway or closet, that would be acceptable. I would not recommend using them in a location where you are wanting accurate coloring like in a kitchen or bathroom.This might seem like a marginal aspect of the lights but, once you compare them to fixtures with a 90+ CRI rating, you will notice a difference. I have them in a hallway and I’m not happy with them. I’m picky when it comes to lighting though. I knew the CRI was 80 when I got them and rolled the dice on them.Since I installed them, I can’t return them. So, I’m out the $200* o spent.I only recommend lighting with a CRI rating of 90+.Functionally, they work good. One of the clips broke though. I cut the openings at 3 1/4” which was just large enough to get them through the opening.I’m going to change them out for some 4” Torchstar fixtures. I’ve had very good luck with the brand and they are much cheaper.

I really love the ability to adjust the light color shade. I have a dimmer that supposedly dims LED to 1%. Even at 1% these lights are too bright for the mood lighting I'm looking for. I would say the lights are probably only dimming to 25 or 50%. Other than the dimming I love them.. I have installed about 100 of these in my renovation projects.
