Recessed Light Retrofits FAQs
What are recessed light retrofits?
Recessed light retrofits are kits designed to upgrade existing recessed cans with modern LED technology. They replace outdated incandescent or CFL trims with energy-efficient, long-lasting LED modules.
Why should I use a recessed light retrofit?
Retrofit kits improve energy efficiency, reduce maintenance, and often deliver better light quality. They’re also a quick way to modernize the look of your ceiling without replacing the entire housing.
Are recessed light retrofits easy to install?
Yes, most retrofit kits are designed for simple installation. They typically screw into the existing socket, connect to the housing, and snap into place with built-in clips. Many homeowners can install them without professional help.
Do recessed light retrofits work with all housings?
Retrofits are available in sizes to match standard housings (4", 5", and 6"). Always check compatibility with your existing housing type—line voltage, low voltage, IC-rated, or non-IC rated.
Are retrofit kits dimmable?
Most LED retrofit kits are dimmable when paired with a compatible dimmer switch. Always confirm dimmer compatibility to ensure smooth performance.
Can recessed light retrofits change color temperature?
Many retrofit kits are available with selectable CCT (Color Correlated Temperature), letting you switch between warm white, cool white, and daylight settings to suit your room.
Are recessed light retrofits suitable for wet areas?
Yes, damp- and wet-rated retrofit kits are available for bathrooms, showers, and covered outdoor spaces. Always confirm the fixture’s UL rating before installation in moisture-prone areas.
Do recessed light retrofits reduce energy costs?
Yes. LED retrofits use up to 80% less energy than incandescent bulbs, last significantly longer, and generate less heat, lowering both energy bills and cooling costs.
How long do recessed light retrofit kits last?
High-quality LED retrofit kits can last 25,000–50,000 hours, depending on usage and brand. This often means years of maintenance-free operation.
